I went to York and was offered a place at Warwick (to do maths), got an A not an A* in my gcse, nobody gave a fuck. Got ABC at a level and they were both too happy to have me.
Ricardo R, one wonders whether you have ever read through a university guide/ UCAS. Although your argument has been torn apart, I feel I must salt the wound further.
Any university [including oxbridge] would overlook an A instead of an A* if one had a) extra cirricular activities to support the grade
b) a stronger a-level grade in that subject which many have
c) shine at interview
I had an interview for Cambridge and only got an A in mathematics GCSE and am attending the uni now... there goes you argument... furthermore, no-one asked me why i only got an A, I MET THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS!
Dont be put off by people like Ricardo_r, generally they are people who want to be where your going! well done guys

I'm in into Uni!!! Fuck yes!
Congrats!!! Go celebrate and ignore people like ricardo_r!
Incidentally, where is this free Ryanair flight to? Is it one way, to get all the dunces off the island? No offence anyone who got a U.
:yippe: Well done hun. I'm so happy for you.
And well done to the other person I know who's just got into uni as well. :wave:
To all those who've got exam results, hope you're happy and got what you need to go on to do whatever you want to do wherever you want to do it. Sorry I can't be any more specific.
Perhaps they are getting easier, but that's not the student body's fault - it's that of the system, the teaching and the exam syllabi. That said, everyone who takes A-levels and doesn't go into teaching generally only sees one set of A-level papers and thus has no basis for comparison. I got AAA back in the day (excluding general studies which fortunately my school didn't offer) and got an unconditional from Bristol. God knows if I'd have got the same offer now.
Thankyou hun!
At the end of the day, yes they may be easier now than what they used to be, but I worked my fucking arse off for those qualifications, and have been rewarded, what's wrong with that? Sorry for having a rant, but it's just SO irritating hearing so many people in the media etc blab on about it.
Well done chloe.
Don't worry about missing out on that A, even though it must be frustrating, you still got into your Uni!
And well done everyone else!
I got CCD, which is what I needed to get into Southampton Solent so I'm happy!
Not amazing results but I wasn't after amazing results.
Oh, and this thread is meant to be for people discussing their A level results, so if you've come to mock and criticise then fuck off you stupid cunts, no one cares.
Well done mate.
Cheers man!
The 3 night celebration bender after picking up my results was well worth the stress! :thumb:
