How's everyone feeling? My dd was pretty much able to forget about results during July but said in a very quiet voice this morning, "I'll find out this month where I'm going."

Is anyone doing anything yet in preparation for 17th? Should we be doing anything yet in preparation for 17th?!

I was awake at 3am too due to a circling police helicopter.
Darent wake DD up.
And I have an anxious DS year 12 collecting AS results today too, which will determine if he tries for Cambridge or not.

Dd has to reset password for Track...... how did this happen? Is it open then?

LittleHo · 17/08/2017 07:37

Track has updated. dd is into her firm!

MPhysics at Warwick.

JoelyB · 17/08/2017 07:41

Aaarg. Insurance has accepted but Firm has not updated. So we're none the wiser and cant pick up grades til 9. 😭

sadusername2 · 17/08/2017 07:42

She is in. But still showing conditional for Cambridge but insurance sent message yesterday saying her place was confirmed if she didn't meet her firm? Help. What does this mean?

Jugglingballs65 · 17/08/2017 07:43

Everyone awake and up except DS!! My nerves can not take much more. Also waiting for news re an internment for DD.

FreedaDonkey · 17/08/2017 07:46

If she's got the grades for Cambridge. She's in Saduser Flowers

JoelyB · 17/08/2017 07:49

Anyone got an update from Cardiff ? Wondering if just us in limbo or if it's a general thing.

Travelledtheworld · 17/08/2017 07:49

Juggling Internship surely ?
Unless you want her locked up ?

Lesstressy · 17/08/2017 07:52

Saduser- Don't panic- still conditional means they haven't rejected them at the moment.
It will mean one of two things:
Either Cambridge has not yet updated your DC'S results on their system yet (eg if there's a delay in them receiving their results
Or
Your DC missed their offer but their college has either not yet made a decision whether to take them or not (may depend on their actual marks) or they are in the Summer pool.

Your DC needs to find out their results, including actual marks and contact their college, as early as possible today.

Apply for any remarks straight away so that any change in grade will be received before 31 August, the date by which they must meet their conditions. Good Luck, I hope it is good news later today.

Congratulations to everyone else!
Last year some very good unis took people who had missed their offers by 2 or more grades or got excellent places in clearing.

Grammy78 · 17/08/2017 07:53

My son got accepted on the foundation course, no idea of his grades. :(

Congratulations to everyone else.

Argh predictive text!! However given the stress aimed at me over the last few weeks it is tempting...
