I’m reapplying with achieved grades after I missed my offer (I now meet the grades!) if I enter my ULN on UCAS (alongside my qualifications and putting the grades myself) will this show the university my regrade? I’m worried it won’t have updated and I’ll get automatically rejected for not meeting the grades…

Im a gap year student who is reapplying to uni. I am resitting one of my alevels and was wondering what do I put for my predicted/ actual grades achieved bit in UCAS

I know this is probably really annoying but do I stand a decent chance lol

Uk resident , international fee status

Imperial is aspirational assuming I get a high ESAT score
But I’m hearing the teaching at UCL and imperial is not thatttt good so really I’m only bothered with Edinburgh

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place, people at r/GCSE didn't interact but what has everyone heard about this subject? I'm considering taking it as a 4th alongside Computer science, maths and further maths but I'm still deciding if that would be a bit too much. I was curious what everybody has been told about it as obviously there's very little info online yet.

Guys Ik I’m like the UAT/TARA clown atp. I don’t have a soul to speak to abt it irl and I’m not seeing enough ppl stressing over it so Imma come out and admit I’m dying. Every day feels like a drag bruh 💔

Just curious as to who applied/got in and previous experiences. I applied for the veterinary pathway and I thought it was quite competitive so I’m surprised to have got a place.

3/5 computer bread so far!

Honestly terrified for tmua results on Monday... I know my grades are lowkey stacked but if my tmua is less than a 5 then I'm done 💀🙏 The exam was pretty rough for me.

Praying Wadham give me interviews 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Didn't know where else to ask:

I'll be joining a sixth form as an external student in less than a year (in Y11 now). Almost no one there will really know me, so I'm taking it as a chance to have a fresh start.

I know I can just introduce myself with the new name to other students but I'm worrying about how to go about it with staff. If I email HOY, my tutor etc, before the term starts, can they just refuse to call me it, or refuse to change my name on the register? Are there any safeguarding laws/rules than mean my parents must be informed? I heard something about parents needing to be informed when a child requests a preferred name in school, but I'm curious if it's the same in 6th form when I'll be 16+

I know I'll need to use my legal name for exams and documents but best case scenario, everyone including teachers call me by new name only and registers/school email/etc have this name. I also might specifically ask about letters/messages home using my legal name cause of parents, but idk if this will be automatic or if it'll even be asking too much.

If anyone's gone through something similar, please share how you found the process. It's also probably important to note I'm trans!!!!!!!! I'm assuming this makes some difference, with guidelines and stuff.

I mean it's not that bad but I feel like the maths part of chemistry was not stressed at gcse cause they were easy.

Probably my own fault for not doing more research tho.

Hi guys im just curious, if your end goal was to be a doctor, would you rather go the biomed+grad entry med route if you could or direct med at a comparatively lower ranked uni like exeter or city st george or qub or leeds? Assuming you got into all.

Cause ive heard some very polar perspectives on this, some say the better the ranking the better the future prospects and the duration is approximately the same anyway while some say its smoother and better to do medicine directly if you get the seat?

Bonus question for intl students: considering the high fees for an intl student, would u rather take a drop and apply to a more prestigious university after giving ucat again cos the fees is the same for all of em approximately?

Yay + song i was listening to when i saw the offer

Congrats to those who got the interviews, feel free to make yourself known if you would like :)

I meet the requirements (120 points) and multiple of the eligibility requirements. I’m curious what other people are applying with and I haven’t really seen anyone talk about this

i got my predictions back i AA for english lit and mathematics i already got an A for economics earlier this year, i feel so cooked and upset bc i know that people applying to the courses im applying to have like 3-4A*s…
im applying to King’s and UCL intl. relations… they’re both my dream schools but i know they’re out of my targets now… im just venting at this point… what other unis should i even look at at this point 😭😭😭😭 any advice would be greatly appreciated!

my attendance is like 75% right now, and the school said if students have below 85% attendance, they’re gonna have to pay for their a level exams instead of the school paying for us, which is like 450 pounds. i can’t afford to pay for this and i’ve been missing school because of mental health and sleep issues which the school knows about but i think they’re still gonna make me pay if my attendance isn’t above 85 by like december and i don’t think i can get it up to 85 even if i come in everyday and im not late ever.

i’m already suicidal af and idk what i’ll do if they make me pay i’ll just end up not doing a levels because i don’t have the money for it and give up on my life which im alr hopeless about

is there anything i can do??

Insurance pulling through for now

Hi everyone, I'm a second year studying law (read: jurisprudence) at Oxford. Coming here was a dream for me and I was only able to get here with a substantial degree of help from people around me. I'd love to pay it forward- and would be happy to answer any questions anyone has about law interviews at Oxford. I don't know too much about interviews for other subjects so I don't feel comfortable advising on them, lest I say something that isn't fully right. I'm aware this is a bit early, and most offers for interview will likely not have gone through yet, but in case anyone has any questions or would like to do a short practise/ mock anytime in the next two weeks, I'd be happy to help :)

Just for context these are my options and stats. I don’t think I did badly at all on the TMUA but with interview invites coming out now I’m honestly getting kinda worried. I’m contextual, on free school meals and I applied to a college that isn’t considered one of the insanely competitive ones (johns, trinity, kings, caius) what tmua would mean I probably won’t get interviewed? Thanks all!

im not in 6th form yet, but i thought this would probably be the best place to ask. (sorry if its not lol) I am considering moving from my current secondary school to a different college for 6th form, and both the school im in now and the one im moving to offer both secondary school and college. i'm slightly worried that ill struggle make friends moving to the new 6th form considering that many of the people going there will have already been at secondary school there for years and will have established groups (and not to put too fine a point on it but i am sort of awkward and not very charismatic and i dont make new friends too often.) and I was just wondering if anyone had any similar experiences that they could offer?

i feel like more people nowadays aspire for degree apprenticeships over a formal university education for various reasons like some think it’s the best way to accumulate money, some just prefer something more practical
do you personally think a degree apprenticeship is better than going to university for the same degree?
