[QUOTE="Peanut, post: 93475, member: 6855"] Thank you all for the time you have taken to respond, it is appreciated. [USER=17155]@AvniD[/USER] - I completely agree with what you say about conducting a self-review, but I guess where that falls down for me is that nothing has worked so far so I have no marker as to what I can improve on. Admittedly I can't change my grades now but I have been working harder on the things I can control which are the written aspects of my applications, all to no avail. Based on what [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] said I think I will submit a SAR so that I can understand of my grades are being scored against any criteria and what that score is. For me that would be particularly helpful because at least then I can see if my efforts are in vain. [USER=8899]@HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh[/USER] - For my degree I got a 2:1 (just!) but regarding A-Levels/GCSEs it is not at all clear which is also partly why I want to submit the SAR. I did the IB but also did an A-level on top of that which based on the current UCAS system leaves me with 200 points but that doesn't take into account the fact that the A* didn't exist when I took the A-Level (Which matters because it would now be an A*). In any case 200 is higher than the UCAS score for an AAB/ABB minimum anyway but that is assuming they are using the current UCAS scoring system to compare qualifications. On my GCSEs I did something completely non-standard so I don't know how they would use/have been using that information. I haven't been filling out the "mitigating circumstances" section, and I've always wondered if I should but I don't really see how any of the above would be considered a mitigating circumstance. My current feeling is that I am going to have to submit a SAR and hope I get some answers. [/QUOTE]
