Well Laura had another letter from UCAS today and their offer is conditional upon her passing this blasted maths exam! Why put her through all that assessment and interviews beforehand if this is so vital? [img]mad.gif[/img] In every other respect, they seem to want her, but OMG she is now stressing badly over it because she simply can't do maths.

She has also been offered a place at another university which has an open day this weekend. She is going there on Saturday to have a look round and if she likes it better, then maybe she'll go there instead. They haven't listed any other criteria other than she gets the grades in her A2 exams which is perfectly normal.

I simply hate this whole system, cos now with practically everyone staying on at school and doing A/S and A2 levels, they now have far more students than university places available to go round. Loads of her friends have been rejected outright and have been offered no places as yet, so in that respect she is lucky. I blame Tony Blair and his government for all this grrrrrrr [img]mad.gif[/img] I just want her to be happy in what she does and not get too stressed over it all. I feel really sorry for these kids because it's all getting too much for them.
