Results Day and UCAS

370 replies

MotherOfGirls · 06/08/2013 12:03

Eldest DD is expecting A level results on 15th so this is my first experience of UCAS. She seems to think her results will go to UCAS before they are emailed to her by her school, and so she will find out if she has made her offer by checking her UCAS account. She also thinks this happens at midnight. Can anyone confirm any of this, please?

Just had a text to say DSS has got in to his first choice. . So pleased for him. Fingers crossed for those still waiting to hear.

MABS · 15/08/2013 08:23

DD didn't get first choice, Manchester but loved her insurance, Newcastle, anyway, so got it there and is very happy! :) am very relieved coz it's been hard as my ds been so unwell for so long, had big impact on her.

Doilooklikeatourist · 15/08/2013 08:27

DS appeared in my bedroom at 07-40 to tell me he got into his only choice ( Greenwich ) so it doesn't matter what his grades are .
He's been on Facebook to his friends and they will all go down to school later

JustGettingOnWithIt · 15/08/2013 08:28

Can anyone please help?
Ds hasn't got the results his offers (for 1st choice or insurance) were made on, but we've come back from collecting results at exam cntre to find he has recieved UCAS track letter saying 'unconditional offer (firmly accepted)' from 1st choice, and also 'unconditional offer held as insurance' for insurance uni. He's also recieved a UCAS email confirming place and informing him that he's exceeed his offer conditions and may be eligible for adjustment.

Does this mean he impressed enough at interview (both did like him) they revised his offers to unconditional without telling him, (what he's praying) or does it mean there's been a clerical error?

JustGettingOnWithIt · 15/08/2013 08:35

Sorry should have said he hasn't exceeded offer conditions, but letter says he has. Very confused.

Isaidhangonamin · 15/08/2013 08:36

Crying again - this time with joy. He's in to Warwick.

Is it to early for sparkly ?

minsmum · 15/08/2013 08:41

Well DD has just texted her results were ABB not AAB never mind.

StillSlightlyCrumpled · 15/08/2013 08:42

That's fantastic Isaid

hollolew2 · 15/08/2013 08:51

Holloson has his first choice Loughborough so pleased for him good luck everyone whose still waiting.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/08/2013 08:52

Just he needs to ring the university directly. They will know for sure.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/08/2013 08:53

Congratulations to all the DCs

MABS · 15/08/2013 08:54

agree, get him to call the uni Just, but I would think positive?

Snazzyenjoyingsummer · 15/08/2013 08:55

Yes, congratulations to all who have places confirmed, don't panic to those who don't.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/08/2013 08:56

It may be that they need to speak to him about his ums (or something) so he should make sure he has all his AS/A2 broken down results and his personal statement to hand (according to The Student Room website)

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/08/2013 08:57

ISing is he up yet?

Poke him with a stick.

JustGettingOnWithIt · 15/08/2013 09:07

He can't get through, it's torture.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/08/2013 09:10

You poor thing - so stressful.

Keep trying. They do day it's the student they want to speak to not the parent - but I bet you knew that anyway.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/08/2013 09:11

say not day

JustGettingOnWithIt · 15/08/2013 09:16

It is him doing the phoning, but thanks anyway.

Jins · 15/08/2013 09:18

Well done to those who got what they wanted and good luck to those still looking

DS dropped quite a few grades but has his place confirmed for his first choice so we are relieved.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/08/2013 09:20

Good news Jins

twistyfeet · 15/08/2013 09:22

ds got his first choice of Bristol but is upset his best mate didnt. She didnt get the expected grades much to everyones shock so they are both upset as they'd planned to go in the same hall. So I'm pleased for him obviously but gutted for her. No idea if she'll get in through clearing. Poor girl was evicted half way through her A levels and her family ended up in a B&B.

Lovely to hear so much good news.

Ds didn't get his grades but his Track status hadn't been updated which we knew was his cue to phone the admissions office. They have made him an offer on a different but very similar course which he is delighted about and has accepted. Sooooo my ds is off to Southampton University to study Oceanography.

Very, very proud mother here. Glass of Moet anyone - we have opened a bottle!

Congrats on Oceangraphy, that sounds fab.
