Its not a poor performance at all, unconditionals really depend on the course and what theyre asking for but most often youll get a conditional offer in s6, not speaking from experience but from friends i know that have achieved the grades required but been given a mix of conditionals and unconditionals

Hi there (:

those are still really solid grades youve got and something to be proud of! 😊 Whether you'll get unconditionals just depends on a few factors.

mainly:

The course(s) you're applying to

If your predicted or achieved grades already meet the typical entry requirements

How competitive the course is (some will want grades above the minimum due to high demand)


Even if you don’t get unconditionals, most people apply with conditionals and get in by meeting the grades in S6. You’ve set yourself up with a good base and there's still time to strengthen your application next year! (:

Good luck with your furutre application!! (:
