Good luck to all getting their results today, have my fingers crossed for all your DC

Thank you

DD is in to Newcastle! Off to buy her a Big Coat!!

Fingers crossed for everyone else.

Oh that is such fabulous news @KingscoteStaff! Make sure she gets a couple of bats as well as the big coat!

DS confirmed for Southampton. So excited for him. Fingers crossed for everyone.

Vests not bats!

DS into Newcastle!

She got A in physics and Bio and unfortunately a B in chem - she was predicted an A Star in tgat so huge disappointment for her.
Congrats to all those off to uni-x

Well done to your DS @kackle

@coffeeandbiscuittime so, so sorry for your DD, that is a huge disappointment like you say. Has she got a plan B?

Offer confirmed for DD to Kings here! Don't know her grades yet though. We is having champagne! (And maybe some more sleep, given I spent the night awake and praying to the Gods of Education for Deliverance. . .)

I'm sorry to hear about your DD @coffeeandbiscuittime, these kids (and their parents have been so mucked around this year, with the goal posts shifting the way they have.

Brilliant @kackle Fantastic @speedyhedgehog Excellent news @mbosnz

That’s gutting @coffeeandbiscuittime - some very odd Chem results out there. What’s plan B?

B in Biology here. DS is gutted.

A A A A here but just been rejected from the wait list at Liverpool. Looking like she'll take up the Natural Sciences at Bath offer. Such a tough year for them.

Wow @jenthehen they are really good results, can't believe that she hasn't got a place

Well done to those who met their offers. Sorry to hear the results were disappointing for @PritiPatelsMaker and @coffeeandbiscuittime . If close to grade boundaries you should look at getting scripts back and see whether any are worth getting a review of marking. We got an extra 7 marks for DS1 A Level Chemistry in 2019 to take him to an A*. Are they up for re-sitting? Are you going to join us on the 2023 application road?

DS got 2xA*, A, so still hoping Newcastle might be in touch, but expecting to do Chemistry next year.

@jenthehen if she still wants to do medicine, she really should consider a gap year. DS1 had a good year and was a good break before the long 7-8 year slog of qualifying as a doctor (including F1 and F2 in that).

I assume you know that it is NOT a good idea to plan for graduate medicine - it takes longer, costs more and is way more competitive.

Amazing results for your ds @Monkey2001 . V sorry for @coffeeandbiscuittime and @PritiPatelsMaker . all the best as all of their plans unfold.

Huge relief as DD confirmed for Hull York. So sorry @coffeeandbiscuittime @PritiPatelsMaker I really hope your DC are ok and that you have support with future plans xx

As is DD! DD out celebrating now whilst I am chained to my desk at work. Such a relief, we were looking at plan B and Plan C options earlier this week. It’s been such a rollercoaster few years. @PritiPatelsMaker @coffeeandbiscuittime I hope it works out for your DC. @jenthehen Liverpool are crazy - those are amazing results!!

Thank you everyone for your wise words and support. I honestly don’t think DD would have made it otherwise.!!

Does anyone know if medicine is in clearing anywhere this year (unlikely, I know)?

Sunderland was, but their interview places were taken. May still be some with a foundation year, but probably best to join us in the gap year crew for now.

DS is home. He is one bloody mark off getting an A.

@PritiPatelsMaker definitely worth asking for a remark then.
I think DD was 8 marks off an A in chemistry.

Congratulations @Monkey2001 for your DS.
Yes we will join you on the next thread.
