Objective NOT subjective
Based on evidence – not what they ‘need’ or you as parents ‘want’
If they disagree, they have time - a fair process
They should now know their predicted grades for ALL their subjects
These are not necessarily what we think your son/daughter WILL get
They tend to be optimistic
The ‘range’ of choices is therefore critical
Some parents confused this summer – when Teacher Assessed Grades (the A level result) was lower than the UCAS predicted grade
Have they visited both institutions – probably online
Are the grade requirements different? Insurance choice ‘’should’’ be lower
Wait AS LATE AS POSSIBLE before choosing – use mock information to inform your decision (most students will have until May to decided!)
But, don’t delay too long – be aware of accommodation deadlines.
Please note:
As soon as your son/daughter has ‘firmed’ or ‘insured’ a university, they may be asked to apply for accommodation at BOTH universities!
Students MUST keep a close eye on their emails (JUNK email too!)
