How are all the Alevel and BTEC results mums holding up? My son applied to UCAS and has to hit high grades in his BTEC. He seems calm and confident. I am nervous but putting on a brave face and staying calm. In the background ive been reading about how Clearing works and getting ready for results day. He wants to live at home so only 2 universities he is considering. First time through this system! Solidarity with other mums navigating this with their teenagers!

Well done your DS :-) Mine got his first choice too :-) AAB. His friend didn't do well and accepted a foundation course but he's happy his friend is still going to the same university.

Blimey they are the same person! DS's friend is doing a foundation too. He'll be there for 5 years! as it's a languages degree with a year abroad but I think he is an only child with rich parents!
