DS has applied for Business with Spanish and got four offers out of five applications. The rejection, from Bath, was not so surprising considering he was encouraged by his school to "give them a go" despite not having the requisite predictions.
So we think the main reason for this rejection was that predicted grades were not up to scratch. AAB prediction versus AAA typical offer.
However, I also know that Bath are incredibly keen on lots of extra-curricular and this is where my DS is not the strongest -- although in his PS he does a good job of describing what he has done (some good work experience and a bit of D of E) and what he's got out of it all.
DS is quite determined to achieve AAA... and if he does, and decides to "adjust", would there be any point in ringing Bath first, on results day? He's still very keen!
