Rejected offer for St Dominics Sixth Form College 2025 - Can I still get in?

Hi im a student who really wants to get into st doms this year but I didnt get an offer.
However, in the email they sent it said that i could be put on a waiting list and they might contact me if my grades are good.
I'm pretty sure im gonna get good grades i my gcses, with like around 3 or 4 grade 9s, few grade 8s and 7s, and probably rest are 6s.
I would just like to know, based on recent years aswell, what the chances are of me getting an offer if i get these kind of grades on results day.

I would say once you get your grades, and they meet all the requirements, call or email the college as soon as they open/really early and ask them if you can still get a place

What's happened in the past doesn't really matter. It will depend on the grades of people who have applied alongside you.

I’m not sure if they’d look at your grades in the past, especially on results day because colleges will be swamped with many applications on the day so they’d most likely look on your actual GCSE grades
However I’m not sure since I’m not familiar with this college!

Sorry, I meant based on what has happened on past years with late admission into this college.

im afraid your chances of comp sci are very slim as they are very selective with that subject

Ahhhh me too I got rejected bcs I didn’t prove I’m catholic (I am I low-key forgot) and I realy wanna go now I emailed them and sent proof but they said that I have to wait until results day. I’m a bit stressed because I have an offer at my school and one near it so I’m not sure on what to do I didn’t go to any open evenings or have any info of the school.
