To ask about Law at the university of York

[Fatsnowflake]

DD got 7 9s and 3 8s at GCSE and got an Oxford offer for Law. She was predicted 4 A. She's won loads of national essay competitions and has generally built her identity around being a high flyer. Come results day - two As and two Bs and Oxford have rejected her. She's set to go to the University of York as her insurance choice but she's feeling really down about everything and is pessimistic about her future. In History she is two marks off the A and in Politics she's just one mark off an A so waiting for a review of marking but not expecting anything to change.

Please tell me positives about York. I'm stressing and so is she. She's feeling like her future is gone. I'm so upset for her. She's honestly such a clever and articulate young woman. She's saying her A Levels aren't good enough for Vac schemes and training contracts and she's not at all excited for uni.

That’s interesting. My daughters sixth form does do German, she’s put down to do that politics and history but thinking about changing German to economics as she’s worried that German is really hard , well proportionately harder than some other a levels. But if hardly any schools offer it is it one to take I wonder given your comments.

for me it’s what the end goal is, I didn’t go to uni and have a good well paid job. I had a member of my team who went to Oxbridge, he was useless and I had to put him on a pip so it had done him no good . And I know that’s a sample size of one so means nothing but I did think I shouldnt be doing “better” than this person.
