My DS is so laid back about his results that he is planning to go out tonight for ‘pre results celebrations’ and has just opened a can of cider Shock. I am not amused.

It will take the edge off @Ragwort, as long as he doesn't have more than a couple!

Interestingly, looking at the Birmingham website there are many more courses in clearing than previously appeared on UCAS track when I looked - this is for UK/EU students. Clearing grades are shown, for each subject.

Bath has a few courses relevant to dd but clearing only for overseas students.

Anyone have a dh utterly unconcerned?!

Mine would be totally clueless about what to do if ds needs to go through clearing.

Lordy, DS just told me he got a call today from his college checking whether he was coming to the results celebration tomorrow. A tiny part of me is thinking back to the posts on the old thread about the jumping in the air photo. Even though DS says they were calling everyone who hasn’t replied. 😳. I’ve really lost it, I think.

( He told them he was coming if he had anything to celebrate!)
