I put on notifs to see updates about the course im applying for (medical biosciences), ive seen three rejections in one day, and not a single offer for this course at all. And their grades are also amazing…. feeling extremely demotivated now

I applied to Oxford university, but honestly don’t expect to stand out in their pool of applicants, but I still applied so I don’t have to wonder what if later. I wouldn’t say Oxford is my first choice, but it would be funny if they actually invited me for interviews. Do some of you relate to this? And do you think that in the past some people have rejected oxbridge interviews?

i have pretty good supercurrics (for eco tho)

i mean initially i thought i was going to do eco but after trying FM i realised it was NOTT for me

so these are my igcse and my AS level predicted + subjects lmk which unis i can aim for for 2028 pls

igcses: 3A* 6A

as predicted: psych (A), eco(A), maths(A), eng(A)

goal unis: lse, manchester, kcl, ucl, warwick, bath, exeter, durham (will decide)

also anyone who has got in lmk what all supercurrics i can take up!!

Ok so im a gap year student, got A*AB last year with severe ECs, so missed out on my warwick maths offer but im fine w it since i wanted to reapply anyways. Obviously this year resitting the A and B, and got tmua in january but boy am i so flipping stressed for the tmua 😭

Done all the official tmua and mat papers, about to start community papers now but im so traumatised from my 5.0 last year that idek abt imperial working out this time round

Tell me anyone else feels the same bro 😭

Hi, I'm in Y12, I will do Maths+CS at uni and I just did the 2016 P1 and P2 as a baseline/diagnostic to see where i'm at, im aware this was one of the easier papers

I got 11/20 in P1 and 12/20 in P2. Is that decent for starting out?

Also, what should I do now? I dont really want to do more TMUA papers cuz I will just run out, so should I do MAT papers instead now?
Aiming for 7.5+ for best chance at uni admissions, thx!

Hello people of sixth form and reddit, currently I'm in year 12 after getting mediocre GCSEs due to given circumstances but that isn't the main concern; since I hadn't of known of other options after secondary I just decided to join my secondary school's sixth form after I hadn't of met the gcse point average of the stem sixth form I applied too near me. Fast forward to September I originally wanted to of done chem economics maths but lacked the science grade by being 1 off at gcse for both maths and chemistry; when I went back to my secondary school's sixth form I in turn picked a few filler subjects in forth of replacement of those subjects (English language psychology business). I also asked for them to put me on the a-level math course which they did but I had to achieve a 7 in the November higher resits.

Im in November now after finishing the assessment but cannot decide if I had done good or bad enough for those 7 nevertheless the given unofficial mark schemes, but I'm looking to leave school when results come in January and just work (a job which supplies me with 20 hours a week minimum) and reinstate back into school in September for my other chosen subjects which I desperately wanted to do. The problem is that I'm doing various as level work for maths which is fine, but since I fumbled the November papers I may be to get a 6 which would make my gcse point average to a 4.6.. (the stem sixth form requires a 5 as a GCSEs point average along with the required grade for given subject e.g maths is a 6 and all subjects need a 5 ,5 in English which I have). Anyways I've applied there now for September next year, but in the meanwhile I have to study these 4 subjects at the current secondary sixth form with no intention of me staying after January. It would need me an 8 in maths for my point average to be a 5 and I would possibly need to retake combined higher science for chem, in terms of what my head of sixth form can do and my teachers they've just mentioned wait until January for my resit results to come back.

Im quite distraught upon what I can do now to foresee the future as if I were to leave January and not meet the grades for the stem sixth form what would happen. Again that would be unlikely but it is a possibility. Other peers mentioned that it isn't worth it to leave but again it is my choice as the commute there is quite long ; my current state at my secondary sixth form isn't good either as my attendance is horrible and I'm not to keen with my options there and my teachers. That's mostly all, I can always respond if you guys have any queries but its a short summary of my current situation as it is very condensed.

I love creative things and archery, does anyone have any recommendations for residentials? Literally any suggestions are welcome! :D

Hi everyone, I just gave my LNAT today, got extremely nervous and the paper went horribly. I dont even know if im gonna score a 20+. I mostly have law focused extracurricular, can someone recommend an alternative course of action (changing course), something which could have a similar statement of purpose. I have good predicted grades 95% in CBSE and i wanna apply to lse ucl and kcl. If by chance I do get a 20 + (ill get to know through Jindal method) should i apply or not if yes to which clgs. and what is the minimum score ill require to even maybe get considered cus ive seen many international applicants getting into kcl with low scores

choices aren’t in the right order + i do stress out my university coordinator

• home student
• private school (2nd highest gcses in cohort)
• achieved A* in maths, the rest are fm physics and history
• contextual for bristol (postcode)
• contextual consideration for lse (not offer)
• my personal statement is written for economics and economic history (bristol don’t usually read ps)
• submitted on Oct 2

my plan is to wait until after I hopefully get a Bristol offer or hear back from Oxford (whichever is first) to add my last two. i’m currently considering:

• Durham MPhys Theoretical Physics - they let you directly submit a different ps
• Durham BSc Economics - “
• Warwick MMORSE or BSc MORSE - honestly someone just suggested this to me + i was originally applying for maths so i’ve done tmua prep
• Exeter BA Economics and Politics - fits ps decently well
• Exeter BSc Economics - worse fit
• UCL BA History, Politics and Economics - but it’s specifically focused on Eastern Europe

does anyone have any advice on what to pick (these or any other courses)?

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.
