Would peeps like to take their time to vent out any anger at those universities who made a grave error in not offering them a place.....

Not really the only uni which didn't offer me a place was LSE - so it's not really a big deal.
I was angry at myself though as if i had worked a bit harder in maths i could have raised my B to an A, and been at Oxford now.

I'm enjoying it thanks nylex - certainly the workload is much lighter than it would be at Oxford, and though some of it seems a bit easy, Essex is still a pretty good university (top 10 for Economics, dosn't fair so well for maths though) and I enjoy it here.

i was really happy, tellin everyone i knew, then i went onto the UCAS site to check wot grades they wanted and when i signed in it sed unsuccessful. i was confused so i called them the next day and told em bout the problem. the lady checked on the computer and sed that ucas was right and i was never accepted. my college's complained and they put me at the top of the list in case there's any clearing places, but i doubt that'll happen. really pissed me off! ya see its not jus the rejection, its the complete failure of the system. one guy said: if they cud mess up the admissions like that, imagine wot cud happen to my degree

I rang up two admissions tutors and asked them to reconsider. They have agreed and upon production of a (second) reference that basically says how good I am (ahem!) they will (hopefully!) make me an offer!

Wow, that's appalling! If they were prepared to take you through clearing then they should offer to reserve a place for you next year. Even if you don't want to wait, I reckon that would have been a fairer response.

Basically I said that as I am doing 2 "A levels" in one year my college could not really give me a good academic reference predicting I would achieve the grades required to go to a top Uni since I only started in September.
They have agreed that if I send a sample of work and a new reference now I am nearly 1/3 of the way into the course they will reconsider.

UCL rejected me for History, I don't know why. They want AAA-ABB and I am predicted AAA in all the right subjects, have a glowing ref and a personal statement that shows how much I love History. I might ring up and ask for a reason, what do you reckon?
