The answer to that question is...ME.
But I guess you had already figured that out, huh?
I actually wasn't expecting to even hear back from a university about me going there, let alone my FIRST CHOICE! At college I went through a lot of problems in my personal life and ended up with 2 E's and a D...not qualifying me for the course AT ALL.
I had got myself a space on an access course at college which would allow me to go to university after I had completed that.
Chichester emailed me this previous Monday (Monday 19th August) asking me to confirm on Thursday what grade I got in my GCSE Maths as that's part of my conditional offer. I replied yesterday that I had received a 'C' which was my highest grade I could have gone on the foundation paper, but although receiving this grade I'm almost certain I won't be able to do the course because of my grades at A-Level.
The head of admissions then replied to me saying "I've spoken to the department manager and the team about your application and they've all agreed that we still want to offer you a place on the course if you wish to accept it. Could you please let me know?". At this point I was screaming for my dad and running downstairs, he met me in the hallway just after collapsing because he thought something awful had happened to me (I laughed a little at this when he told me) and screamed at him "I'M GOING TO UNIVERSITY" and started laughing and crying and I was just a complete hysterical, happy, mess.
Although I'm saying I am going to university I should actually be saying I'm hopefully going to university. You see the thing is, is as I didn't think I'd get in - in fact I was certain I wouldn't get the grades to get in - I didn't apply for accommodation, I didn't apply for any financial aid - nothing! I've now sent off for my student loans, and should hear back from them in 4 weeks, hopefully saying they'll loan me my tuition money. I've also contacted the accommodation people at the university in the hope that I can either apply really late for accommodation OR they can help me find student accommodation elsewhere.
ANYWAY I'm really excited about this opportunity so I wanted to share it all with you! Thank you all for reading, blog again later. xxx
