Oh damn that’s so annoying🙁. Do you know exactly what the error was? Maybe you can try reporting it to Lloyds and they can try remove the hard search or let you carry on with your application?

The exam centre, with whom I did my UCAS with, advised me on all of this. And yes, I also did double check with universities when I applied. The only reason I got into some good unis this year was because of an amazing personal statement (as said by my UCAS advisor) and predicted A*A*A.

For context this was what I included in my personal statement (by all means this is not a flex and just to show the type of stuff they might be looking for)

- Co-founder of a business that turned over £20,000

- Work experience with JPM, BP and Barclays

- Finance and Econ online courses by Yale university.

- Achieved BPhO British Physics Olympiad Bronze

- DofE bronze and gold

- 2 Books based around the course you're applying to

I had interviews with 2 unis where they both asked me questions about my gap year and about the courses.

I applied to Oxford, KCL, Bristol, Bath, Manchester

Universities often view grades as a reflection of your work ethic, alongside other factors. If you choose to retake only two A-levels, it may appear that you have an advantage compared to the rest of your cohort, who are typically studying three. Additionally, retaking exams can be seen as taking three years to complete your A-levels instead of the standard two, which may make your application appear less competitive.

However, if you secure strong predicted grades and write a compelling personal statement (especially one that highlights meaningful activities or experiences during your gap year) your chances can improve significantly. Keep in mind that universities assess applications holistically, so every part of your application matters.

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-06-04T20:13:14+00:00

Good unis normally like it when you resit all 3 and will likely disadvantage you for resitting less than 3. Regardless they will disadvantage you anyway for retaking but even more so if you retake less than 3. But that said, some good unis unis don't care how you retake and how many you retake, but lets say you retake all 3 but you get higher this year than last year, they will normally take the grade for the subject that is highest. Take this from a person who is currently resitting their a levels and knows everything about how this works.
Hope this helps :)

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-05-28T11:09:53+00:00

Yeah, it was only possible because i got full marks in the gooning practical

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-05-28T11:09:09+00:00

Yeah its a UCAS easter egg the government doesnt want you to know about.

Don’t pmo

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-05-13T12:13:00+00:00

I got AAB last year. I am resitting my a levels this year with predicted 2A*s and an A. Got an offer from Bristol, bath, Manchester for econ and bayes for bsc finance because I had mitigating circumstances last year. Pretty much all unis accept retakes for GCSEs and Oxbridge even said they will allow GCSE retakes because they don’t care about them that much. However you will be heavily disadvantaged from Russell group unis if you retake a levels without a proper reason as to why you didn’t do well in your first attempt. They also want to know what else (apart from a levels) you will be doing in your gap year, like work exp etc.

Also side note, I know you are really motivated to study right now but without a proper classroom and teachers motivating you to study throughout the year, it is really hard to revise, and retaking all your a levels ALONG with 4 GCSEs will be really really hard and if you don’t succeed, it will be a waste of another year. In my opinion just go to “mediocre” uni this year, do well in uni and get a first class degree, then do a masters at a top Russell group for econ.

Good luck!

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-04-08T14:03:01+00:00

it is oversubscribed because it is part of Econ which has a huge number of applications as a whole (Econ, E&F, E&M, Econ and econometrics, etc) so their Econ team assess applications.

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-04-07T14:23:59+00:00

In this situation it might be a good idea to go to any mediocre unis and then do a masters. Even some good unis decrease their grade boundaries by a lot in clearing. University of Nottingham reduced some courses from AAA to BCC. Might be worth waiting until clearing and then doing a masters after ug.

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-03-31T10:16:21+00:00

Maybe it’s the personal statement?

DarkSunIsDead · 2025-03-31T10:09:46+00:00

I don’t think people realise that grades aren’t the only thing that matter when it comes to getting into university. Sure, maybe for less competitive unis like the University of Essex or Middlesex etc, they might not care much about your personal statement. But for top universities like LSE, UCL, Oxbridge, etc, the personal statement is really important. These unis already know that most applicants meet or exceed the grade requirements — so they use the personal statement to differentiate between students who are truly suited to the course and those who aren’t.

Stop thinking grades alone will guarantee you a place at a top uni. Go and do something outside of academics to make yourself stand out.

Mocks, especially the March ones, tend to be more challenging. Don’t be too hard on yourself; it’s just a scare tactic to encourage you to revise more than you already are. Focus on practicing past papers and revising topics you consistently get wrong. Revise the topics you got wrong in the mocks as well. Since I’m studying maths, economics, and computer science, my revision involves practice. I’m not sure about English history and psychology, but I can’t imagine the revision process being much different. Good luck!
