Well done, everyone's DCs! Glad to hear your news Jemima, after all the angst!

DD managed to clock up some great AS results but still may have to resit a Chemistry module, as one of her papers had an unexpectedly low mark which pulled the whole lot down a grade. :( We are planning to get it checked and possibly remarked - and if it turns out that she really did have a "bad day" she'll retake it in January. We've learned that not all vet schools have issues with module resits, so all is not lost, hopefully... :roll:

Hi Marylou
If the mark doesn't go up it might be worth taking a tactical view over how the AS info is put on the UCAS application so the Vet schools can see the module marks not just the overall AS grade. I know someone who got a 'C' grade on one AS module & still got an offer for medicine so I'm sure you are right that not all is lost.
Best wishes for the months ahead!

Thanks, KB - hadn't thought of that! Worth a try. It's a reassuring example! :)
