Sorry for the confusing title, but I'm confused.
I went to my Y12 DDs parents evening and they kept referring to an average GCSE mark of 7.7 out of 8. I think it's the total of her GCSE marks? But we are in Wales and therefore still using letter grades A* - G.
Does this grade go on her UCAS applications next year? And if so, does it preclude her from applying to medicine? If this grade is part of the shortlisting process will it impact her being shortlisted?
She has 8 X A* and 3 X A (in essay subjects, she's dyslexic, so this is an exceptional grade she managed to still achieve).
She saw one of her form mates score and it was 8, and is now concerned 7.7 is not enough to get shortlisted for interview at RG or Oxbridge.
State school pupil if that makes any difference.
Any advice from those who have been through this stage? As it is new to me. Thank you.
