My dd has had a rejection from Leeds uni to study graphic and communication design.
They only offer on the basis of grades and PS. The entry requirements are ABB. She has A level graphic design (grade A) and a BTec (2 A level equivalent) DM which equates to AB. Therefore, she has got AAB, albeit from a mix of A level and BTec.
Leeds do not interview or ask for a portfolio which seems wrong in a creative subject, if they did they would see the extremely high quality of her work.
We are confused as to why they have rejected her. If they bothered to read the PS which I wonder if they have, they will see she has work experience at a design studio and other work she has done independently since leaving school.
Does anyone have any advice, should she contact admissions and ask what their reasons were? Do Leeds actually read the PS or have so many applications they just sift through at speed rejecting anyone who doesn't have 3 A levels?
