As the father of a blonde who at 6.30am was devastated that she fell short of her offer by a grade I can relate to this. When she logged onto UCAS tracking and couldn't find an update from her first choice, but a rejection from her second choice, things got a little darker. The actual jumping started about an hour later when she had rung the admissions tutor to be told she had been accepted despite the missing points. So, a now very happy blonde Cubette is on her way to Hull to do a BEd in Special and Inclusive Education.
The blond in the household got more than enough points to do his chosen course, and when he logged onto UCAS tracking to confirm, discovered that some time ago his offer had been made unconditional in any case. He was very restrained, and didn't start any personal jumping until his sister was able to celebrate. Cubester's off to Harper Adams to do a BSc in Rural Enterprise and Land Management.
