Cinnamon Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 I found out I'd got my place at brum before I found out my results - I then found out I hadn't got the AAB I needed to get in, I'd got ABD (I was ill throughout most of my second year and had a lot of time off so my french grade really suffered from a borderline B/A in first year to a U in second year). I got accepted based on points, I got 380 (3 A2s and 2 AS). Which was 20 more than their grade requirements would have made. That has reassured me too. Do they do this automatically....work out the points,does anyone know? Although her Unis of choice have said they want AAB,if she does get an A* at English,but only a C in something else,then there still may be hope based on points???

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Loads of luck to everyone waiting . We went through this a couple of weeks ago so I know that churning feeling so well. It would be great if they made a mistake and sent out the results a day early like they did in Scotland so at least you could all sleep tonight . A friend's son needed an A in a Higher, he wasn't well and only got a C but after an email explaining the circumstances, he still got in. So don't despair if you don't get what you've been told you need . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 We are waiting here too, for DS who has an offer from Reading....he's relatively calm, but I'm seriously considering a small libation as a sedative for my nerves!! Thanks to those who posted the very helpful information about Clearing, which I have shared with a friend already who is also on tenterhooks for these results.... Good Luck to everyone who is waiting for their results..xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hope all goes well, I went to Kent Uni (in the 1980s) and had a fab time there, though it looks a lot bigger and less collegiate (sp ??) now. Good Luck to everyone! A Level results have fallen on the same day that they did 27 years ago when I got mine. I only remember it as it was my 18th birthday and I was in Benidorm with a load of mates! I ended up at UKC as well. It is where I met OH. We went for a wander round a couple of years ago when we happened to be in Canterbury and hardly recognised the place. Just wondered what college you were in Yvonne! I was Eliot and OH was Rutherford! We have DS's GCSE results next week - along with lots of others on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although her Unis of choice have said they want AAB,if she does get an A* at English,but only a C in something else,then there still may be hope based on points??? Points stay the same for each grade every year: A* - 140 points A - 120 points B - 100 points C - 80 points D - 60 points E - 40 points taken from here It depends on the university, some want points, whilst others want grades, check the prospectus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Clearing question: If you go on there and the actual course you applied for at your choosen uni is showing as having clearing spaces,the chances of you getting on must be pretty good right?

Also for AS results the points are halved. A* -70 A - 60 B - 50 C - 40 D - 30 E - 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How annoying, you would think the systems would be designed to cope, common sense says that there will be a huge demand. Hope you get on soon.
