Hi everyone,
I am new here, but I am wondering whether you could offer me support and/advice.
My daughter has just heard this week that she has been rejected, pre-interview, to study Law at Oxford. This has been her dream since primary school, and she is devastated. She is predicted AAA in her A-level studies (English Lit, History, Politics), and is a senior prefect in her school. She also completed an EPQ last year (Year 12), where she was awarded an A (internal moderation) but was downgraded to a B via AQA moderation (she was not a part of this sample, so it seems incredibly unfair that she was detrimentally affected. Her school requested a re-moderation, she was (once again) not a part of the sample that was re-moderated, and her grade remained at a B). She completed her LNAT, and was generally happy with her efforts. She has received a lowered offer from Durham (issued within a week of her application - which is great news), and is waiting on an offer from UCL, Kings, and Nottingham. I want to support her, but wonder whether I should also advise her to consider taking a year out, and re-applying to Oxford? Any advice will be gratefully appreciated...
