Following on from the Oxbridge rejects thread but I've got rid of those two words. I for one am interested to know where they all end up and when Durham might finally deign to reject/offer DS...

Phew, my son has his grades for Durham. And his friends seem to be happy too which is a relief for all the parents.

I was awake early feeling nervous, my son and husband slept happily until their alarms went off. Hmmm!

Volterra · 18/08/2022 09:21

DS onto Bath - don't know grades yet - on motorway and will have them sometime after 10.
Congratulations to them all !!!

VikingNorthUtsire · 18/08/2022 09:24

Congratulations everyone

DS has 4 A stars and is off to Exeter, a massive SUCK IT OXFORD if that wasn't enough for you

He has two lovely friends also going to Exeter so it's all good and he's happy.

LobeliaBaggins · 18/08/2022 09:25

DS got 3 A stars and an A and is off to UCL! So happy and relieved! He was really unsure in the last week or so after all the gloomy reports, especially for his FM paper. Grade boundaries were low for that one!

May I brag a bit on here about his achievement? I promise I never go on about this on social media or in real life. May out me but I will name change and it is not like I am saying anything very controversial! We are an internationally mobile family and only moved to the UK in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. DS had to get used to a new country, a new school, new friends, new academic system, and a pandemic! It was a real risk, but I had faith in him, and he was very keen on a British education. I am so proud of all he has done in only 2 years.

LobeliaBaggins · 18/08/2022 09:26

Gosh, posted too soon.. Congratulations to you all! @TangoWhiskyAlphaTango I hope this makes up for your awful summer.

ladygrinningsoul · 18/08/2022 09:35

Late joiner here - DS missed out on Cambridge because of the dreaded STEP and is off to Bath.

4 A stars. Bloody hell; if that is not good enough for Oxford one wonders what is!

Ya SUCK IT Cambridge and LSE, but most especially LSE....

SayYouDontMind · 18/08/2022 09:40

Brag away Lobelia that's an incredible achievement!!

And Viking Wow! Your DC will have a fantastic time at Exeter.

The anxious grind of the Oxbridge application process feels like a lifetime away 😊

Volterra · 18/08/2022 09:48

Amazing results @LobeliaBaggins

Welcome @ladygrinningsoul . Really sorry to hear about STEP. Is he Maths? DS is Maths at Bath.

Valleyofthedollymix · 18/08/2022 09:48

I’m proper thrilled with this good news esp for Tango - I’m so sorry the rest of your life is in disarray but pleased that you’ve got something to celebrate.

Bloody hell Lobelia, brag away! What an amazing achievement.

Viking 4 A stars! Wow.

Lady sorry about the Step, it’s v cruel. Bath is a brilliant alternative.

Lastly lovely Stockpot - our clever but dippy kids are in tandem yet again. DS got the same grades as yours so will be seeing her at the St A geography department. And the accommodation and trains I’ve booked for the first weekend of September (yikes!) won’t go to waste.
