Dd was unwell in Year 13 with anxiety/depression. She was studying 3 A Levels and a BTEC and after some time at home getting well, she decided to just sit one A Level this year (English) and continue with the BTEC.
Her first choice of university (Birmingham) gave her an offer of an A in English and DDM for the BTEC. She got DDD* for the BTEC and a C in English which she was disappointed with, but Birmingham made the offer unconditional a few days before A Level results came out.
Dd really wants the place but doesn't want to go this year for 2 reasons - she doesn't feel ready especially after being ill, and secondly she wants to get the other 2 A Levels. She has a place at a Sixth Form college for this coming year to complete the A Levels.
However she has just found out that Birmingham have refused her request to defer the place as she didn't meet or exceed their standard offer which is AAB I think. Really upset for her as they gave her this (non-standard?) offer in the first place.
Does anyone have any experience of this and how should she proceed?
