Finishing year 13 in 2017

[HSMMaCM]

Hi all. Keep in touch with uni offers, new jobs, gap years, exams, etc. We can get through his

So sorry for your DD Etaina to miss out by such a small margin is awful. I hope her Insurance uni gets back to her quickly.

So relieved ,good news here, daughter going to Edinburgh for vet med.

Congrats ollie

Thanks everyone. It's so hard to know what to do if she doesn't get accepted by her insurance. Although she's interested in neuroscience, it was medicine that she really had her heart set on. She could retake Chemistry but she might not get an offer this year because there is only a handful of unis that accept retakes for medicine (I think only 4 she could apply to). Also, she's applying for a remark, so it would be awful to accept a place on Neuroscience course and then get remarked up to an A. Decisions, decisions...it's even harder when you are stressed and tired through lack of sleep.

Congratulations Ollie. We're just back from a trip to Edinburgh and thought it would be a fabulous city to study in.

Feel for you Etaina. My DS missed his A in maths by 1UMS so were going for a remark.

Just woken up from doze to catch up. DS advice from school was stick with insurance if you like course and university. Which he did. But still not million % if he should go through clearing. Too much risk or worth a gamble???

Plus should he ring his firm which he missed by one grade? Can't see why not

Etiana, really think about a gap year. She can only apply to four places anyway, and was so close. There will be more places available next year. Plus she will have more experience and more maturity.

Also has she tried SGUL and Liverpool who have medicine in clearing?

DD is just finishing a gap year and has had a brilliant time. She is so glad she had a break before such a long course.

Plus a gap year will allow her to really think what she might like to do as an alternative, and where.

Sheffield not budging on grades so that's the first NO from Clearing

After all they have said in the media over the last couple of days that's really not good. So much for their comments about grades! I wonder if they are on,y saying yes to people who registered early for clearing at Sheffield ?

He got into Reading - he's thrilled. Great course, accommodation available - were happy again

Brilliant news Liney All done in time for lunch and you can celebrate now

Great news Liney.

Tobee yes! Phone his firm and insurance, keep trying.

My friend's DD called her RG firm 10 times (honestly) last year and was told no. 11th time she got through to an admissions tutor who quizzed her a bit and then offered her a place.

Perseverance pays off

Thank you. I will indeed have a

I hate that so many others are still in limbo. It's incredibly stressful.

Well done to everyone who has gone well.
Commiserations to everyone else.
We are unfortunately one of them.Dd didn't get in to either of her offers .She is having some papers remarked as they are right on the boundary and thinking about reapplying next year.Nearly all the medics/vets were unsuccessful this year.

Does anyone know how often UCAS track updates the offers? Is it constantly updating or only at certain times of day?

Tera, having followed your DDs story, I am so sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed for the remarks.

And best wishes to everyone else still in limbo.

Sorry Teta :(

Thanks Freeda. He phoned and they said no but I told him it was worth it just to say you tried. Track has updated acceptance for his insurance.

It's still a bit gloomy here which is compounded by knackeredness. It's pretty much of a shame because he's still done really well and liked his insurance. I want to lift the mood. He should still be celebrating but he can't see that right now.

So sorry to hear that Teta

Etaina hopefully someone knows for sure but we had to get UCAS to reverse a rejection last year. The university rang to say they had just arranged it and it should be showing which it was, which gave me the impression it happens regularly.

Oh Teta

Really mixed stories about Clearing from DDs friends. It will all come right in the end.

Glad your DS is sorted Liney it's an emotional roller coaster isn't it? I am so glad I never have to go hrough that again!

Teta, sorry it is not good news for your DD, I hope the re-marks come good for her. If she takes a year out that may give her an edge if she has lots of good work exp to show for it.

Tobee, it was worth a try re ringing his firm but if he likes his Insurance he will be fine, I'm sure.

Thanks, Horsemad.

Sorry to hear that teta. Hope the remarks go in her favour.
