So I’ve just finished my A Levels and safe to say, they didn’t go as great as I would have hoped.
I firmed the Uni of Exeter to study Middle East Studies.
I qualified for a contextual offer for Exeter which saw my grade requirement reduced to BBC, but I’m genuinely scared I won’t even make that, I’m pretty certain I hit around the BCC or CCC grades, so one or two off the requirement.
With that being said, my counsellor at sixth form has written up an extenuating circumstances form for me and has included all the stuff that has affected my grades throughout the entirety of sixth form (bullying, and severe parental illnesses during the actual A Level exam season)
Worst case scenario, I actually end up getting BCC or CCC, with the EC submission and me being a contextual offer student, is there a chance of me still getting into the course? I’ve also been wondering if whether the fact that the course I’m aiming to study there (Middle East Studies) is not necessarily an “oversubscribed” course like law or medicine will help my case a tad?
I do hear Exeter are quite lenient on results day but one can never be too sure so if anyone could give some advice it’d be much appreciated!
