A young person I know failed to get the grades for their offer to study Law. They got AAC rather than AAA.
They are now planning to take a gap year, resist the "C" subject. Get some relevant work experience, work and earn, travel a bit and do some other useful activities.
I am wondering if anyone has advice on how admissions departments will look at a new application this year? And for suggestions of anything we haven't thought of that they should be doing to help their applications?
As they now have 3ASs at A grade would it be worth applying to Oxbridge? Or would they reject because of the initial C grade and a retake? What about places like Durham?
Any advice or experiences of others in a similar situation in the past would help.
Talk to other parents whose children are preparing for university on our Higher Education forum.
