UCAS site says "confirmed" - does that mean she's in?

blissfulbabe

As you probably know, A level results are out today. We can't get to college to find out the results until tomorrow but when my daughter logged onto her UCAS account it said her place at her first choice uni has been confirmed - does that mean that her results have been good enough to get in?

Does it say 'confirmed unconditional'? if so, then yes, she's in.

If it is the first page of track you are talking about, and it says
"Congratulations! Your place at xxxxx University to study xxxx has been confirmed. "
then yes, she's in!

If you then click on 'choices' it should say something like 'unconditional firm'.

Well done to her!

Thanks for that - it does say that it is unconditional so I guess that means that she's off to Goldsmiths at the end of September:T

Congrats to your daughter!

Whilst it means she can definitely go, it doesn't necessarily mean that she met the terms of her offer. The uni may have decided to let her in with lower grades.

Definatly true, my uni wanted ABB (this was 5 years ago) so when i opened my results and got BCC I thought o well lets have a look what clearings got going, but my Mum rang Leeds anyway and they said they could confirm my course, she put me on and I said are you sure because I was no-where near the grades and they just said yep you're definatly in. I'm still convinced to this day they made a mistake because someone I was at uni with had had to resit their A levels because they got ACC the year before and they weren't allowed in. Either that or they were undersubscribed my year.

Well done to your daughter!

Well done to your daughter. Goldsmiths is a good place to go (but I'm a bit biased since I go there!)

Thanks for the replies and good wishes.

My daughter's offer was BBB but she got BDD - however I bumped into her personal tutor yesterday who said she had a call from the uni on Wednesday about her results. They wanted her tutor's view on whether her results reflected her ability, which she said they didn't. She told them my daughter had gone through a period of extreme self doubt (which is true) and that she was a gifted, if an extremely frustrating student to teach!:rotfl:

The problem we have now is that her friend, who had the same offer for the same course, got BCD and has been rejected. Understandably, her parents are livid and have banned my daughter from their house. I hope they calm down soon and realise that my daughter isn't to blame for the situation.

Now all I have to do is soothe their hurt feelings, find the deposit for halls, get my daughter off the ceiling, help her make lists of what she needs, get her to see that just because her grant comes in big lots it doesn't mean that sher spending can follow the same pattern, persuade her that second hand kitchen stuff is fine and point out that packing for uni for the first time will take more than twenty minutes!

Well done to your daughter, - and how sad about her friends parents. If they have to blame some one, why aren't they blaming the uni?

Also, it's good to know that the uni went that extra bit to find out if the results were reflective. Box of chocs to the tutor I say!
