Some of you may recall my previous threads about the worry I had over DD's uni choice (between a very good one and a much poorer one). She needed ABB grades for both but in the end opted for the better one as her firm and the other as her insurance = very happy mummy
She re-sat her English Lang earlier in the year as she had got a C at AS. She managed to get it up to an A, which is some achievement and = very proud mummy .
Having upped this grade, a small group of teachers have pulled her to one side and are now telling her she should take a gap year and apply to one of the RG uni's next year, telling her the Uni she has firmed (16th in the new league tables) is not 'all that' in so many words - even thought it's the leading Uni for the subject she wants to do!! DD has decided to stick with her choice but I feel very cross about this. I think they are wrong to put down a perfectly good performing Uni or am I overreacting? I think it has more to do with their success than my DD's.
