A level results day 2026

That sounds fantastic!

My DD has had a really tough year at uni due to developing arthritis. She managed to get through her modules and all but one were at 2:1 grades. When she went to visit some of her uni friends this summer she discovered they all seemed to be doing resits which made her feel quite proud and realise she had achieved something good!

We never want them to go through tough times but it can make them aware of their capabilities.

Dd got an A star in Edexcel maths - and she doesn’t do Further Maths. I am impressed!

Would he be able to do a different course at the same place and then see if he wants to swap/ do optional modules in year 2?

International applications have fallen off a cliff for many universities, which means they are keen to increase their UK undergraduate numbers. This means that many will be much more flexible this year than at other times - the same thing happened last year. However, that doesn't mean that they weren't impressed by his personal statement, and that his predicted grades suggest he has the aptitute and skills that they want.

@Lampzade he had applied for MORSE at Warwick and he is doing maths with economics at Loughborough.

Is he studying Economics at university .?

Yes I can get that, often it’s a place that often pulls at the heart too isn’t not just the course etc

When this happened to my daughters friend, she still got in but with only two weeks noticed
I guess it could be it some others deferred or made other choices

but she had to get her shit sorted fast so I do think there’s still a chance x

Thank you @SwanWings I know he's done so well anyway, I feel we shouldn't be moaning about it really but its hard when he set his heart on something.

It's for History. Had heard from previous years that they sometimes accepts a grade lower but this year their applications have doubled apparently so no flexibility despite getting a higher grade in another subject. Hope it goes well for your niece and let us know when you have some news :)

Yeah see what you mean still an excellent uni,we went there on a visit and was v impressed, but can understand the pull to bath xx
if it gets reviewed I hope it goes well

Yes, I’ve been checking these threads ever since DS’s A levels in 2006, so 20 years.
I also started an ‘empty nest’ support thread after DD went to uni in 2008, which actually kept getting revived for several years after - it seemed helpful for quite a lot of people.

Finally got to hear he got AAB! But not in the subjects expected. He got an A for the one he expected a B for and vice versa. But it's exactly what his University asked for and place was confirmed earlier. We were expecting ABB. He was a few marks of an A star. And the B was 5 marks off an A. Wondering if it's worth asking for a review as he'd get a big chunk of money if he got three A's.

@AuntyBulgaria DS just missed the A* in that maths!

Notts was insurance and they have offered him, but Bath is where he always wanted to be.

We have emailed their remark team and let them know we intend to remark but I think if if goes up they would only offer for next year?

That sounds expensive!! DD is our 3rd to go to Uni but with age gaps and gap years there has been no overlap at all.

My niece is at Bristol and loving it.

DS got A⭐ in that awful Edexcel maths, and an A in FM and A in economics. Despite getting higher than asked for in economics he did not get the A ⭐ in FM so Warwick said no. But it was always a long shot.
I'm really impressed with his grades and so proud.

He is off to Loughborough - he just needs to sort the accommodation.

Well done to all the DC whatever their grades - it's all very exciting 💜

Where was his insurance choice ?
happened to my daughter friend last year and exam got reviewed and then she got in

didnt have much notice though and as she was going medicine which starts early had about two weeks notice to get down there
but could be worth considering

They rejected him but he’s got his insurance and is really happy with that! I’m just glad we know at last!
Well done to all the other teens on his thread, it’s an exciting time for them

Sorry to hear that. What’s Bath’s position on reviewed grades?

Ds2 is in! CCU, same as I got back in 2001.

I'm annoyed with his grandparents (my inlaws) though. He phoned them as soon as he'd told us and they immediately put it all over social media before I'd told my mum. Thankfully my mum doesn't do social media much so she saw my text before she saw Fil's post.

DD got B,C & D - I’m honestly so proud of her because it’s been such a tough year for her. Didn’t get her form but for her insurance. She’s really happy as her predicted grades were much lower and she worked so hard to get them up.

Yes @lisaloo88 you must call them! DS had to self study AS Further maths as his sixth from didn’t do it. He got a D but didn’t need to include FM in his grades to get in - he got his place with 3 As.

that’s an amazing result for self taught!
