Lineys this was my son two years ago. He was gutted but by 10.30am had got through to his would-have-been third choice university and they took him. He has been there two years and very happy. Take heart!

user9512736123 · 17/08/2017 07:19

@Dawnedlightly that's great to read.
@LIneysrun keeping my fingers crossed for you.

LittleHo · 17/08/2017 07:18

Sorry to hear that Liney. Best of luck & clearing has good choices this year.

Auntpetunia2015 · 17/08/2017 07:14

Oh no Liney, fingers crossed. I've just phoned DS to see if he's had any emails but nothing so far ..he's actually admitted to being really nervous even though he's trying to sound confident...I offered to drive up to school and he wouldn't let me. So am here knecking coffee...

Dawnedlightly · 17/08/2017 07:13

Lineys
It's great news that he's off and into college though. This time last year DD was in tears- she'd failed to
get her results by a long way. By 10am she had firm offer for a Russel Group University doing the same subject and is returning for year 2 next month.

user9512736123 · 17/08/2017 07:11

@LineysRun do you have his grades yet?
I wonder what would show up from the insurance if the firm have accepted?

I hope he's OK getting the train with no SNAFUs.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 07:09

It's not good news here I'm afraid. Rejection from insurance, so presume firm will follow suit. He's gone to try and get train to college.

dingit · 17/08/2017 07:07

Still checking in. I feel I know you all well, and want to know how your dc do too.

user9512736123 · 17/08/2017 07:06

sorry he's disappointed Tobee.
Still waiting here.

Auntpetunia2015 · 17/08/2017 07:03

DS been up and about since 6:15 just left the house to go to school. Wouldn't eat or speak to me.,. So do here pacing now until he texts or calls. Apparently school opens at 7:30. Feel sick. Don't think he's had any emails. He probably hasn't checked ...

bebumba · 17/08/2017 07:02

Great news dingit!

tobee · 17/08/2017 07:01

Ds got his grades for his insurance. He feels a bit weird coz he did less well than he thought in his best subject but better in the other two. Which is because he worked so hard for those. He's not dancing with Joy which is sad coz he did really well in those two.

OhTheRoses · 17/08/2017 07:00

Congrats to all. No firm emails here which is worrying me now. Not that I dare mention to dd. The final countdown. At least the drive in will take my mind off it.

user9512736123 · 17/08/2017 06:57

@Lineysrun it's not right is it, schools should have a set time.
Oh well, we can wait....and wait!

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 17/08/2017 06:57

Congratulations to your ds, Mumbod. My ds did his A levels last year, his offer was 3 As, he got 2 As and a B and still got his first choice. However, his girlfriend as I had an offer of 3 As, she got A* (in the subject she was studying at uni), an A and a B and was rejec6red. Apparently there are loads of courses in Clearing this year and unis are accepting lower grades so I think there a good chance your son will be fine. Good luck!

AmITwirly · 17/08/2017 06:52

Congratulations dingit's DD and the others whose results are in. They all sound good to me!

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 06:51

Ooh nice one, dingit. Hope her boyfriend is ok too.

dingit · 17/08/2017 06:49

She's done it! Email from firm. And on the masters ( higher grades needed)

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 06:49

DS has to physically collect his, and we've had the usual rail SNAFU lately. So that'll add to the drama.

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 06:45

That's a good point Liney. Some schools/colleges email the grades out to students, others request the students collect in person.

MumBod · 17/08/2017 06:45

Thanks all - checking as we speak. He did have extenuating circumstances while he was sitting, and they said this would be taken into account, so fingers crossed.

Good luck everyone.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 06:44

How is it that some students get their results three hours before others? It's not exactly a level playing field if they need to start phoning round. It wasn't one of the criteria we asked about when looking at sixth forms - 'how quickly do you release A level results on the day??'!

AmITwirly · 17/08/2017 06:39

I've been awake since 5:30 but leaving DS to sleep because his school doesn't open for results until 9am. I'm definitely more worried about DS's results than I was for my own! That's mad isn't it

Fingers crossed for everyone.

Horsemad · 17/08/2017 06:30

Sorry he's not happy MumBod - fab grades though, Well Done to him.

LineysRun · 17/08/2017 06:27

MumBod, sorry I don't know - you will probably have to wait for an email or Track to open. But three As is amazing. Has he checked emails?
