It has been quite a journey. Now waiting to find out which halls DC has been allocated.

mumsneedwine · 05/08/2025 11:04

@WeCantGoOverIt😂 it's IKEA day ! Free meatballs usually for soon to be Uni students. It will be full of bleary eyed people shopping for the perfect cushion to take 😊.

Great news @HGC2! Enjoy the celebrations

Congratulations to all future medics!

WeCantGoOverIt · 05/08/2025 12:56

Sadly IKEA is too far away, so no meatballs for us today. 😂

SoTiredNeedHoliday · 05/08/2025 14:42

Great news everyone! Not long to wait for the rest of them.

justjuggling · 05/08/2025 21:47

Lovely news to read today!

Groundhogday2021 · 07/08/2025 14:57

Congratulations to the Scottish students 🎉 and best of luck to those waiting for A level results next week! 🤞
We moved dd into second year accommodation this week but I remember the excitement of shopping for halls so well! It’s amazing how quickly time flies by!
Enjoy the celebrations! 🥂

Good luck everyone for Thursday! My DD is doing Camp America but has promised she will get up at 3 am to get results! My DS is also getting results too and refusing to commit to any university despite having four offers so I hope it’s straightforward for her as I can’t foresee how you manage 2 sets of clearing !

2nd year - I am not sure what is happening there - it’s a great medical school and city ( not biased at all as I went there) - do they just not accept near misses ?

That is what I thought! It looked like they made a complete mess of it last year with so many taken from clearing even though it is a good school. I know someone turned down who ended up in Edinburgh. You would have thought they would be much more on top of it this year. Unless they are doing an experiment to see how relatively random picks from clearing perform compared to their usual selection process…

ipredictariot5 · 11/08/2025 19:25

I wonder if it is because they say any A levels with no requirements for chem/biol they get nervous about near misses. They run an excessively high UCAT cut off too - or maybe a lot of people have them as insurance not firm?

No, it's because many of the students that they have offered places to have missed their grades. Unis got the results last week.
