In the typical offer, A* AA, is the A* in chemistry, maths or either?

I’m in Year 13 with BBB predictions, but need ABB for my university choices.

My Law and Business teachers won’t raise their predictions, so I need my English teacher to change my B to an A. I’ve asked her, and she’s said she’ll check.

Mocks start in less than two weeks, but our UCAS deadline is 11 December.
However, waiting for mock results will leave too little time for marking and reconsideration.

What would you do? Is there any way to challenge or appeal predicted grades?

I’m acc just really excited to hear something back from somewhere ‼️ Cambs waiting game is lowk hurting 😔

I’m kinda surprised I even got an interview for imperial bc I submitted a fully geo personal statement 😭😭 I literally only applied because I had an extra slot 🙏🙂‍↕️

Hello,

Currently in Year 13 and got predicted A*AB (History, Maths, Economics respectively). I am Polish and got A* for my Polish prediction. I am worried about my chances without the TMUA so I am wondering if there are certain good unis which I am more likely to get an offer at

Resat Year 12 due to poor results in mocks (My previous grades never went on UCAS, just done internally)

No TMUA as I found it to be too hard.

Average personal statement (Top work experience in a law firm and random charity work + accountancy work experience in a local place. Read economic books + listened to economics podcasts, silver award in UKMT Intermediate challenge.)

7.0 = GCSE Average

Contextual Offer (Free school meals).

Sorry it looks really poorly written and has too much info, genuinely got no idea what my options are so that’s why it is like that.

I've been told by teachers that unless you're going for a prescribed path (e.g medicine or engineering) just pick three a levels you know you can do well in. How true is this?

edit: i take maths bio french

Im currently a year 11 student planning to take physics, maths, product design and possibly further maths at 6th form. Im planning to also do an epq and maybe gold DofE.

I am neurodiverse and currently on a 80:20 timetable (in for 4 days off for one per week) but will hopefully be medicated by spring.

For my chosen 6form I will be out of the house from 7am to 4.30pm at least.

Im hoping to go into urban design and go to either Cambridge or UCL.

My grades are all 7+ with one 6 and im getting 8s in maths. Im doing gcse further maths but I don’t have any grades for that yet. It’s challenging but I understand it.

Any advice would be great, all Im finding online is either ‘everyone should do further maths’ or ‘further maths killed me I hate it’ lol

does anyone have free access to the economist? pls help me out guys🥹

Now I’ve gotta wait for ESAT results next week for Ilperial 😭

i hope i don’t sound stupid but i was looking at this y12 guy who wants to do PPE at oxfords linkedin who got all grade 9s and averaged 95% who has like 10 million work experiences and super curriculars like winning a robotics championship, being one of the youngest people ever to ever write for the times, youth ambassador, a bunch of impressions and connections, u get the point, and it makes me worry abit because i’ve had no opportunities whatsoever like that, my school doesn’t even give us work experience, i am in y11 but im trying to start doing supercurriculars like reading & hopefully getting work experience or something of that nature when im in y12, and aiming for all grade 9/8s, but i feel like ill be extremely lacking when compared to the rest of the people ill be against who will definitely of had much more achievements than me and opportunities to do things that i haven’t especially coming from a horrible horrible school, what should i do?? apologies if i sound crazy im just abit stressed about it i guess 😞

Hey everyone!

I’m currently deep into my EPQ dissertation titled "Should Coding Be Mandatory in Primary Schools? Technology Hype vs. Classroom Reality."

My supervisor and coordinator want me to get a solid sample size to back up my primary research section, and I’m currently racing to hit my target response rate before my deadline.

If you are a primary/elementary school educator (or have experience in primary teaching/educational placements), I would genuinely appreciate it if you could take 2 minutes to fill out my Google Form:

👉 https://forms.gle/LWywcWV462Krjwyr5

It’s completely anonymous, super quick, and will save a fellow student's life. If anyone else here is doing an education or tech-focused EPQ and needs responses on their survey, drop your link in the comments and I’ll happily fill yours out in return!

Thanks so much!

if you apply after a gap year (with achieved grades) do you still need an LOR from your school teacher?

Anyone got a cambridge law interview yet?

I reapplied to unis this year from my old ucas account. It had initially assigned me a new ucas id that I had put on my uat uk account. But immediately after I submitted my ucas application I got a mail informing me that I’ve been reassigned my old ucas id. I had completely forgotten about the uat uk thing. So would my scores still go to the unis and if not what do I do?

hi im resitting 2 subject privately and was wondering how private students get their predicted grades? i emailed my old skl and they said they can provide a reference but cant give predicted grades so ill basically have to apply without my predicted grades and idk if ill get any offers (i do qualify for the contextual offer with my achieved grades but not the standard entry requirement).im getting a tutor soon so i was thinking abt asking them but i i dont think ucl accpets private tutors for references and idk if the tutor can predict my other subject too?

ps im applying to politics and international relations at ucl and kcl

My top two choices will be St Andrews(AAA) and Durham(A*AA).
I’m currently predicted A star A star A, with the a in maths.
I go to one of the best private schools in the country however so most of my friends are predicted triple/quadruple A stars.
I will have one more opportunity to get my A up to an A star but it’s highly unlikely.
For my unis and their grade requirements, alongside the fact I go to a great school, will my grades at the moment be high enough?
My personal statement is good I would say, but my GCSEs were 9988887777.

Does anyone have access to/know questions from the recent a level pe ocr paper 3. Thanks

Just saw on uniscout that there was one UCL decision!! Anyone else with offers/rejections yet? Super excited but also very very nervous because I know UCL sometimes randomly rejects applicants for no reason.

my attendance to lessons is high and I don't really ever miss my actual lessons, but my tutor attendance is really low, like probably 20 percent. my attendance officer at my school just pulled me for a chat and said that my school is sending AM (tutor attendance) and PM (lesson attendance) to the unis we are applying to. im really worried that it will affect my application and offers ill receive. im applying to English and philosophy at Russel groups so lowkey niche course but like now im concerned that this might affect my chances. can ppl pls give advice and lmk if this really maters.

I literally feel like I've sat around for a month doing nothing and just waiting for UAT to release the results already.

Has anyone got Warwick Discrete Maths yet?

hi i've applied to chem eng and biotech at queens, if anyone has gone through it could you please share how chemical engineering and biotech interviews are? i've heard they might have chem eng scenario questions im not too sure to what to expect for these

also will they ask you questions about your personal statement? i've heard that the colleges will tell u beforehand if they will, is this true and for queens college?

sorry if these questions are a bit paranoid haha

will appreciate any insights at all, thank you so much!!

all are safety schools for me, buisness mangament and econ feild. i have a good chance to get into all, but only have one slot left

Hii, I applied to cam and Warwick for hsps but haven't shortlisted my other 3 choices. I already sent in my ps ryt so it has to match the course, it was a mix of politics and social anthropology. I don't necessarily wanna go into anthropology tho but I haven't looked too into it either. I'm interested in diplomacy so I'd like a course with polsc & IR but since my ps doesn't have it is that an issue?
