~ the inspirational speech that no one asked for starts at 9:03 ~ GOOD LUCK TO ALL MY A-LEVEL AND GCSE LEGENDS - let me know how it all goes !! luv u all no matter what happens.
"I think the institution you attend does not define you. I think what defines you is your own goals and aspirations. And what hopefully occurs is that the institution gives you the support and mentorship needed to go and apply for those jobs, or try new oportunities, new experiences - that's why the university is important." Damn. 💥 that was beautiful
EVE I LOVED THIS!!! Pretty damn scared for tomorrow (Bristol’s my firm!!), but this reminded me that whatever happens, it’s not just the name of the institution that matters, but also your own work ethic and the support you get. You’re a gem!! (motivational chat mission accomplished!!) xxx
BRISTOL IS YOUR FIRM!! It makes me SO happy to know such intelligent and ambitious individuals, especially women, are going to Bristol - you will honestly have the best BEST time. Shoot me a message if you want any more information to do with Bristol, super happy to help! Best of luck for tomorrow, I will be following along with your day on instagram fo sure. YAY this has made me so happy - thank you Jade! X
I feel your pain with the hours of results day crying! I was predicted ABB and ended up getting CCC!! But the course I did (Radiography) was more heavily weighted by interview so they still gave me a place at my first choice. 2 years post graduation and I'm a few weeks away from starting Graduate Medicine so anything is really possible, even with "bad" A-Levels!! :)
YES. YES. YES. i love this!!! that is such a huge success story - damn girl. results really don't define you at all - you have done so well omg. GOOD LUCK FOR GRAD MED!!
I genuinely needed to hear this so much after results day, I was predicted AAA and needed AAA for medicine at Southampton but I got ABB and it really shocked me. Hoping that I can take the same path you did eventually (or go through the direct transfer to medicine course at my uni) but do you have any tips for applying for medicine as a graduate?
Dichromatic I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out as you expected! Honestly though, in my first hand experience with doctors, Grad Medics are by far the best doctors! My advice is mainly not to rush it, you don't want to go through an undergrad not enjoying it or using it for it's full potential just because you're set on medicine. I have a website that has a few more tips too if you want to check it out :) www.scientificwomen.co.uk Best of Luck!!
@@poppytidswell3262 Thanks, that site seems pretty handy! I've heard the exact same thing from a lot of people, seems to make sense to me. I figure 21 year old me will be a lot more well equipped to deal with life as a med student than 18 year old me 😂 I was just wondering if you had any personal insight into the application process (and how to not let the even steeper applicants to place ratio get to your head)?
I’m in America and my college/university experience was somewhat similar. I had my eyes set on this one university from the day I visited as a Junior in high school. I figured that there was no way I wouldn’t get in seeming as how everyone I spoke to said it was the easiest university to get into in the region. Lo and behold, once senior year and SAT’s rolled around I ended up not making the marks I needed in order to get in. I was rejected promptly thereafter and I remember going to the university admissions office in person with my parents and talking with one of the advisors simply telling her that regardless of the reason I did no get in, I would make it my sole priority to attend one day. I worked my ass off at community college for 2 years, and applied in the winter of 2018. March 2019 rolled around and I got my decision letter. After all the work I had put in at a “inferior” institution with no glitz or glamor where I just kept my head down and worked nonstop taking 5-6 classes a semester along with summer courses. After all that work I ended up getting accepted to my dream university that I had set my heart on 3 years ago and I will start my first semester there as a transfer student this fall which really just goes to show that regardless of where life takes you, you will always find a way through the hardships so long as you keep moving forward. Oh, and ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP PLAN.
I've just had my A Level results which didn't quite go to plan, so this video was great to watch! It's comforting to hear that not everyone's results go to plan. I needed to hear this :)
Hannah J yess!! me too! i have been getting solid A*s throughout my whole 2 years of a levels and was set to get into medicine, however my depression completely crippled me during my exams and i had no sleep before 3 of my exams so i ended up getting BBC. obviously this destroyed me for a very long time but ive now found a way around it because of videos like this. it all works out :)
I got 'bad' A-level results but just graduated with a first! Loved the inspirational side of this, A-levels are far from the end of the world (and they're also mad hard)!! (side note where are the glasses from I love them)
Clearing happens if you miss your offer and the uni rejects you or you didn't apply to go uni. In the UK, you apply with the predicted grades not your actual grades. When you get your actual grades, then they firm or reject you. It's a bit different here.
@@Surfing566 damn predicted grades oooooooof *Thinking about that one girl who sleeps with teacher for gud grades*😂😂 and if the person is not able to satisfy the predicted scores? 🤔
@@shreyassingh2503 Satisfying predicted scores doesn't really matter. When unis accept your offer, they then give you conditions that you have to satisfy when you get your results. If your grades don't satisfy the conditions, then there is a chance that you won't get into that particular university.
What a smart partnership. As a French lawschool graduate, I would have loved to get the proper tools to think about my options as well, because when it's not going down as planned (which is more frequently than one thinks haha) the first thing you do is being scared. What a great idea to use your platform to reassure and give good advice to new students ! Cheers to that :)
I rate this video so much. There’s just an insane amount of pressure for students to achieve top grades and there’s so many videos of people getting accepted by multiple top universities which in reality doesn’t happen for a lot of people and this video does an amazing job highlighting the reality which a lot of people have to deal with and the truth is it doesn’t matter if you don’t get into your dream university and you can still enjoy yourself and be happy even if things don’t go to plan. Enjoyed the video I know it’s late but keep it up! :)
Having a plan B is the most useful advice you could give, honestly. Sometimes we don't worry about what could happen if something doesn't go as planned, but it's super important to have a backup plan just in case our first choice fails. And the same happened to me with my History results, because I got a 6 out of 10 (Spanish grading system) when I used to be a 10 out of 10 student, and I've never been angrier and sadder in my entire life. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your story!! Lots of love xoxo
As someone who didn't get into my first choice and had to go through clearing, I have to say this is the best video I've ever seen on the topic. I was devastated at the time but I am now happy to say that I am a trainee solicitor in a great firm in the city. I'm sure that's due in no small part to the fantastic support I received at the uni I got into through clearing. I also think going through something like this at a young age is really character building and lets you know that a lot of what happens to you in life is down to how you deal with tough situations.
Believe me or not, this video is exactly what I needed in this period! I am living a difficult situation with my exams and it is always a great support to hear this word from someone who has had difficult times at university. thank you for your videos and for your speech. now i feel more motivate to do my best and going on following my dreams! Thank you Eve!
The thought of seeing Eve cry is too much for me :( I didn’t get into my first choice either although they did put me on a waiting list giving me months of false hope. But it all worked out fine for me in the end. At least I think so! You’re giving a lot of great advice Eve! Definitely something I wish I’d heard a few years back!
YES. u bet it DID. proud of u, the mental jump between the university you expect you go to and the new one which you end up at is pretty big, and if u overcame that, you can do anything. also lol at me crying, i don't actually cry too often...but i feel like when you have so much pressure leading up to a certain date (results day) tears are UNAVOIDABLE, and probs quite healthy (thats what i tell myself)
Wow, literally same thing happened, heart set on a London university, needed A*AA but got A*AB so I got rejected because of that B and now have had to adjust to my insurance which is Bristol, it's still a bit stressful trying to get ready for Bristol, but hopefully it all goes well
I needed AAB and got AAC and I am gutted I didn't get into my dream uni , so Thankyou so much for this video 💖💖it has helped me more than you know . Good luck with everything xx
I discovered your channel a few days ago. I’m also a law student, from Greece..I’ll soon graduate and I’ll start my LLM in England.. I can relate with some of the stuff you say and I really like your humour and how you use it,even indiffucult times! Looking forward to seeing more of your content and good luck with your degree in London!
Thanks for this vid eve;)))) I’m an international student so I’m not receiving results tmr but I’m gonna start bristol law this year and your videos have made me less nervous and frightened at the idea of starting!! Love you and hope you have fun on your travels!!!!
Such super advice. I've had a great life and mostly gotten what I wanted, but when things haven't gone to plan, I'm always grateful that I took the time to develop alternative options just in case. All roads lead to Rome
God this is just what I needed. I was up until 3 am last night, as the OCR modular boundaries were leaked, and I’m soooooo stressed. It’s always good to hear from people who’ve had a stumbling block, but have still thrived and done really well!!!
Oh Eve, I am in exactly the same position as you were! I have firmed Kings College London for an offer of A*AA and am shitting myself for tomorrow. So damn scared. Glad everything worked out for you though xxx
oh my goodness YOU ARE!! woah that has me DIZZY. best of luck for tomorrow, i'm sure it will all go fine...but IN CASE IT DOESN'T, it can still go GREAT somewhere else!
Oh my gosh I really needed your inspirational speech right now, I didn't do too well on a major assignment and I totally freaked out until I watched this. THANK YOU EVE! xxx
omg that makes me so HAPPY. i can't tell you the number of major essays/assignments i totally FUMBLED throughout my time at highschool and uni. one time i had to go to a meeting with one of my tutors because they were like, wtf why is your grade so low ? YAY. but, we can totally get through this - the only way is up !!
actually loved this so much! i’ve firmed a university that might not be the best on the league tables, but where i feel i will be most supported and i will be overall the happiest! it really is true that rankings aren’t everything i suppose! (still cacking myself a little bit for tomorrow ngl but oh well)
Best speech ever, brilliant ! Seeing you grow up and becoming adults so smart is something that makes me happy, thanks for sharing your thoughts and points of view. I wish you much success in your professional life.
Emily Smith Typically that’s called Adjustment. People who use clearing either did not apply to uni and have changed their mind, or missed their offer and are rejected. The adjustment system is a separate one for people that hold an offer, have done better and wish to change uni.
Fanni Kinga Pocsveiler I don’t think so. People who are “Oxbridge Rejects” find out they are so in January. So by the time you miss your offer, and have to enter clearing, you’d already firmed another institution. So people that miss an Oxbridge offer, have at the most A*AA, as two A* are required for most sciences.
@@VicvicW I meant those who missed their Oxbridge offers, as in got an offer but missed the grade. My class had people whose offers to Cambridge were A*A*A*. Someone who gets the grade you specified would've missed the offer.
Can I just say I LOVE this little setup that you’ve got going on?? Also this was such an interesting insight - I’ve got my gcse results day coming up but honestly this is applicable for that too, always have a plan B!!
Thank you for this Eve! I’m worried I’ve been accepted to my insurance choice but not my firm, and I’ve always felt bad about being so emotionally invested in my firm that I can’t imagine myself at my insurance, but this really reassured me that even if that does happen it might not be so bad !! 🤞🏻
yes YES. i totally feel this. you set up your life and your ambitions around the first choice university, and don't give much/any thought to the other potential outcomes. changing your perspective on where you might attend can be pretty hard, especially when it comes to university and you are so invested in your 'dream' institution. can honestly honestly say i have had the happiest 3 years - university is definitely what you make of it!
I missed my grades by 1 mark too! I needed A*AA for Psychology at Bath but got AAA (one mark off an A* in one, two marks off in another and 3 marks off in an other) so rang up Bath and they said no! I ended up going to my insurance which was Durham and never looked back 😄 now got a BSc, PGCE and doing my masters!
Lovely video Eve! I really could have used something like this before my results day. Anyone reading this before results day this year, my top advice is to act fast and cry later. There is soooo much choice in clearing and it's totally not the end of the world if you miss your grades but definitely have a plan in place. UCAS have a clearing search tool, I'd recommend to search by university rather than by course at first because there are soooo many places. I went through clearing in 2016 having missed my firm.( I made loads of mistakes and my firm and Insurance were the same). Decided to take a gap year and that was the best decision ever. Fast forward 2 years, I've just finished my first year at ucl doing the course I wanted at the university I wanted. The gap year personally helped me sooo much and I'm glad I didn't settle for another degree in clearing.
Eve this is the best video because I’m freaking about this happening to me in a couple of days and to see you so successful despite everything that happened. Thank you so much for this video
Eve, I am in med school and normally just watch for entertainment but this has actually helped a lot. I also did not get into my preferred schools and instead into one I wouldn't consider my least favourite but pretty far down the list. However, there is plenty of opportunities here to learn practical and soft skills, if (!) I take the time to do so. You reminded me, that my skills at the end of this time are my responsibility, so thank you.
I’m so glad you spoke about this , I have my heart set on Kings College London . However my gcse grades are lower than their expectations. I need to get in my head that it may not happen but to look at other choices x
Hi, just to let you know, I attended an Oxbridge q&a a few days ago, and the tutors there said that while they will look at your GCSEs, it's more to see if you have a positive gradient when they're compared to your € levels. I don't know how much lower than expected your grades are, but I can tell you that you don't need to give up just yet! Try hard at a level (which hopefully will be more enjoyable anyway) and King's is definitely still an option!
After watching this I’m almost certain that I’m going to take a gap year first so that if I don’t get the grades I want I don’t have to panic about my university place. This is very reassuring though - good to know that if you don’t end up where you wanted it could lead you to somewhere much much better :) good luck with everything, I wish I was as focused as you!
yess, i know lots of people that took a gap year before starting!! and i'm so glad - it's true too!! university is definitely what you make of it! best of luck for everything !!
This speaks to me, even being from Australia. My first choice was just based on the fact that I wanted to go to the best university near me but I got my third choice and it was actually a godsend. I would have only been able to study one speciality at my first choice, but the program for my career choice at my university was actually so diverse and was actually in the top 20 the world for my choice of study when I was enrolled. I would never have gotten the job I love just a couple days after finishing my degree. I would never have made the same industry connections which is so important because the industry is so small where I live. My university also just offered so much more diversity and opportunity than I would have ever gotten at my first choice, and I look back at that girl from 7 years ago and think she was insane. I had just wanted the best but that wasn't what was best for me!
Great video, took me straight back to results day three years ago haha, time flies. Glad to hear that everything worked out just fine for you despite plans changing! x
I'm so jealous in the U.K you can apply to law programs straight after high school. In Canada, you have to complete your Bachelors (4 year degree) and sometimes even with honours, to be eligible to apply for law school. It's the same with Med schools here too :(
I suppose it's similar to the US. But honestly, I think that the average age of law students should be higher. Experience is needed for successful lawyers. As someone who started law school after high school, the transition is pretty scary.
I 100% agree that a specific school doesn't matter. I had a specific law school in mind because it was the big school in my state but just being around the students made me feel uneasy and like 'I wasn't worthy' which sucks but then I went to an event for another law school and the environment was such a family style and everything about the school felt right. I start in the fall and I'm so excited
Got my Leaving Cert Results today which is the Irish equivalent to the A levels. I missed my top uni but over the past few hours I’ve accepted and gotten v excited for my 2nd choice!! Thanks for this video eve, I look forward to each video more and more 💛
wow, i applied for law with UCL as my firm and Bristol my insurance and the main thing i'm concerned about is employability so this really really helped. thank you eve
I went through this exact thing a couple months ago, in the US. I had my heart and mind set on one University and when I applied to the business school, I was rejected. And the scramble ensued. But in the end I’m going to an amazing school that will save me half of what i would’ve paid for the dream school. Love the video Eve!
This story was honestly kind of relatable. Last year I got back my VCE results (your end of yr12 school results if you live in Victoria, Australia) and I did bad. Like a lot worse than I was expecting and ended up getting into my last of 8 uni preferences. Anyways I did the course I got into for a semester (the first half of this year) and as soon as I could I applied for transfer to what had always been my dream uni and dream course (also my original first preference). I then worked really hard at the uni I ended up at (this uni which I, in the end, hated, it messed with my mental health and the course wasn’t right for me) and eventually my hard work paid off and I got into my dream course at my dream uni, which I’m currently at now and I’m so happy and I’m loving it so much. Proof that it always works out in the end 😌
I was exactly the same 3 years ago - I missed my a level grades, cried a LOT, luckily got into my insurance choice but with no plan b. It was actually great for me as I’ve had the best uni experience ever and have a better overall degree. I’m so happy things worked out for you and good luck with everything for the upcoming year ☺️❤️
I’m getting my AS results tomorrow and I’m honestly so worried that I haven’t done well enough to actually get into my dream university next year :( hopefully I’ve done ok but this video really made me feel a lot better!! Love u so much tho
thank you for this!!!! IM a junior and I'm really interested in law school and thanks for the advice; I will definitely try to keep my options open instead of just looking at one school and hoping that I get into.
it's super interesting to me to hear about results day and the processes leading up to uni itself bc in Canada it's completely different! Much less organized haha but regardless I would not want to go through the uni admissions process again...so stressful! I love that you're sharing this story right now because it's so relevant! We love a helpful motivational queen. I'm such a firm believer in where you end up is where you're meant to be (even though it might not seem like it at the time!). I didn't get into my first choice school either, but the uni I'm at now has my entire heart and I feel so lucky to be there. If it's meant to be it'll be, ya know? (not saying not to work hard and just hope for the best instead lmao)
Final year student about to graduate here and honestly I’m so glad I didn’t get into my first choice. Half way through my degree I realised I didn’t like my course and I would have been tied into a much longer degree doing something that doesn’t make me happy had I gone to my first choice. It might feel like the end of the world if you don’t get into your first choice or even your insurance, but I promise, it will all be okay. Also unis know that they will take students through insurance/clearing so don’t worry about accommodation or registering, it’s really not a problem.
I really want to go Bristol, and ngl I visited kings and I was like nah, London isn’t a city for students- and the accommodation was more expensive. This video is so inspiring thank you you absolute queen x
I’m looking for law schools I can go to for exchange in a year or so and I was worried about the uni itself, like if it was good enough for it to make an impression for future employers. What you said is right, it’s not about the institution itself (as long as they support you), it’s about how someone is as a person and how driven they are, that makes the impression. Thanks for giving a struggling law student some help😅
This helps so much. Oxford applicant with Bristol as my second choice, and I've never looked past Oxford and have always catered my life toward that... But this just *helps*
I really start applying to universities starting next month (in the US), and while our education systems are different I still found this video very helpful and informative! I'm super nervous that I may not get into my first choice school but even if I don't, I need to know that it'll be okay. (Even though I'll probably cry a lot lol) It's also super interesting that you guys can only apply to 5 universities, here you can apply to as many as you want (but many people don't apply to too many because of application fees). I plan on applying to 9 I believe, but I have also heard some crazy stories of people applying to 30+ schools!
oh wow thats so interesting, i actually don't know much about the US college system !! yeah exactly, i FEEL THAT. i guess, you kinda know, even if you don't get plan A, it will be okay, but that ain't going to stop u CRYING and MOURNING your planned out path. whatever happens, i'm such a strong believer in everything happens for a reason, i was definitely somehow supposed to go to Bristol and meet all of my amazing friends. YOU WILL BE FINE, and i'm ROOTING for you!
I remember the time when I actually passed the exam in my dream school and was supposed to study Filmmaking but it was too expensive so I resorted to thinking how I can at least help my parents with financial (by saving up a huge amount of money) and risked my dream study/work. I passed in that school and now I’m a fourth year student (graduating) and have no fees/tuition to pay at all! It is a blessing ♥️
wow WOW. that is incredible, you are such an incredible individual. i hope you are super proud, that's amazing. it is certainly a blessing, but you worked HARD for that, it's also a reward for your work. xx
Eve Cornwell I did and I’m super proud! ☺️ actually had the opportunity to receive an honor last sem which made me feel happier with my work. ALL tears, headaches, efforts WILL pay off in the end. BTW super proud of you, Eve! I look up to you as a role model ever since I subscribed on your channel. Love yaaaaa!
I got A*AB aswell, and got rejected from my AAA uni of Manchester offer. Im so upset, now im going to a Manchester Met which is BBC/BCC. It’s disgusting that they rejected me, but I’ll just make the most out of a bad situation. I will try my best, I can always go to do a masters at a Russel group
@@nelynels thanks for the best wishes 😊, I got my English remarked and it went up by 14 marks. I have A*AA now, I got my place back at the Uni of Manchester.
I got into my first choice but to do a foundation year in chemical engineering rather than going into 1st year, and I honestly don't regret doing an extra year, if I hadn't I wouldn't have understood my course at all because I didn't do physics and now I'm working for a really big engineering firm, your university doesn't define you at all. It's all down to the effort and you networking you put into your course and meeting people who can help you progress in a career you want.
Hi Eve, I'm an international student from China, studying in Australia currently, and applying for UK uni next yr. I'm so panic now bc I'm afraid of there's no school accept me😭😭And it's way too hard to apply law as an international student😭(My dream school is Durham and insurance gonna be Leeds) Wish me good luck. And thank you for doing heaps of great videos and you actually give me a lot of good advise, thank you so much and please never give up this channel.👱🏻♀️
Very late to the party here but I was in a similar situation to you! Had oxford as my firm and then flunked a levels - was annoyingly close to what I needed but I got remarks and there was no change - so I ended up at Nottingham which was my insurance and I absolutely love it! Everything happens for a reason.
And here's me sitting here with an unconditional to my first choice uni 😅 I still want to get good grades though. Good luck everyone sitting A-Level exams in the next few weeks. We can do this!

Lea S first class honours degree (1:1) ~3.6 gpa minimum
@@meg2570 and what does it mean when she said she got a 69 ? Is 70 the passing grade ?
me, an american: as yes clearing i know what this means
me,an Indian: wtf is going on ;_; all i got from the vid was that she cried for 4 hours
Clearing happens if you miss your offer and the uni rejects you or you didn't apply to go uni. In the UK, you apply with the predicted grades not your actual grades. When you get your actual grades, then they firm or reject you. It's a bit different here.
@@Surfing566 damn predicted grades oooooooof
*Thinking about that one girl who sleeps with teacher for gud grades*😂😂 and if the person is not able to satisfy the predicted scores? 🤔
@@shreyassingh2503 Satisfying predicted scores doesn't really matter. When unis accept your offer, they then give you conditions that you have to satisfy when you get your results. If your grades don't satisfy the conditions, then there is a chance that you won't get into that particular university.
What a smart partnership. As a French lawschool graduate, I would have loved to get the proper tools to think about my options as well, because when it's not going down as planned (which is more frequently than one thinks haha) the first thing you do is being scared. What a great idea to use your platform to reassure and give good advice to new students ! Cheers to that :)
YES another law grad, hello! thank you so much - best wishes to whatever you are up to now!
Thanks a lot!
Waaaaah c'était ya très longtemps mais bravo à toi !
I am *proud* of your professionalism btw
Sending positive energy to everyone getting their results this month
this was such a great video!! “where was i... aH, i was crying” that is my official mood for 2018 lol. love you :)))
HAHAH, but, l i t e r a l l y. actually, maybe 'ah, i was sleeping' is more accurate now...
I rate this video so much. There’s just an insane amount of pressure for students to achieve top grades and there’s so many videos of people getting accepted by multiple top universities which in reality doesn’t happen for a lot of people and this video does an amazing job highlighting the reality which a lot of people have to deal with and the truth is it doesn’t matter if you don’t get into your dream university and you can still enjoy yourself and be happy even if things don’t go to plan.
Enjoyed the video I know it’s late but keep it up! :)
the one direction part triggered me
Having a plan B is the most useful advice you could give, honestly. Sometimes we don't worry about what could happen if something doesn't go as planned, but it's super important to have a backup plan just in case our first choice fails. And the same happened to me with my History results, because I got a 6 out of 10 (Spanish grading system) when I used to be a 10 out of 10 student, and I've never been angrier and sadder in my entire life. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your story!! Lots of love xoxo
I would cry for 4 hours from HAPPINESS, if I got A* A B at A Level.
LOLL I GOT BCC FCKING AWFUL
@@a_shan8662 same. i want to dig a hole and never come out of it.
@@nandinimittal9656 sight I mean there's nothing we can do now but try move forward and do the best we can.
also are you moving into uni this year?
@@a_shan8662 trying to, results were absolute crap as you can see. pls pray for me lol.
I got A* A B in Accounting, Eco and Maths and got rejected from Bristol and Durham :(
As someone who didn't get into my first choice and had to go through clearing, I have to say this is the best video I've ever seen on the topic. I was devastated at the time but I am now happy to say that I am a trainee solicitor in a great firm in the city. I'm sure that's due in no small part to the fantastic support I received at the uni I got into through clearing.
I also think going through something like this at a young age is really character building and lets you know that a lot of what happens to you in life is down to how you deal with tough situations.
Wish I'd have seen this 5 months back when I failed to clear my law entrance. The video's just amazing ❤️ thank you
Believe me or not, this video is exactly what I needed in this period! I am living a difficult situation with my exams and it is always a great support to hear this word from someone who has had difficult times at university. thank you for your videos and for your speech. now i feel more motivate to do my best and going on following my dreams!
Thank you Eve!
yes YES. FOLLOW UR DREAMS. set high goals and work hard enough to make them HAPPEN !!
The thought of seeing Eve cry is too much for me :( I didn’t get into my first choice either although they did put me on a waiting list giving me months of false hope. But it all worked out fine for me in the end. At least I think so!
You’re giving a lot of great advice Eve! Definitely something I wish I’d heard a few years back!
YES. u bet it DID. proud of u, the mental jump between the university you expect you go to and the new one which you end up at is pretty big, and if u overcame that, you can do anything. also lol at me crying, i don't actually cry too often...but i feel like when you have so much pressure leading up to a certain date (results day) tears are UNAVOIDABLE, and probs quite healthy (thats what i tell myself)
Wow, literally same thing happened, heart set on a London university, needed A*AA but got A*AB so I got rejected because of that B and now have had to adjust to my insurance which is Bristol, it's still a bit stressful trying to get ready for Bristol, but hopefully it all goes well
Sup, so how did it go?:)
I needed AAB and got AAC and I am gutted I didn't get into my dream uni , so Thankyou so much for this video 💖💖it has helped me more than you know . Good luck with everything xx
never been so grateful for a youtube recommendation. i'm new and i always go to your channel first whenever i open yt.
I love how I’m meant to be doing practice questions as practice before school starts, but instead I’m listening to this.
I discovered your channel a few days ago. I’m also a law student, from Greece..I’ll soon graduate and I’ll start my LLM in England.. I can relate with some of the stuff you say and I really like your humour and how you use it,even indiffucult times! Looking forward to seeing more of your content and good luck with your degree in London!
Thanks for this vid eve;)))) I’m an international student so I’m not receiving results tmr but I’m gonna start bristol law this year and your videos have made me less nervous and frightened at the idea of starting!! Love you and hope you have fun on your travels!!!!
YAY - YOU ARE STARTING AT BRISTOL!! you will have the best BEST time!! good luck for the move, sending my love!!
I dont mind staying up another 12 minutes.. haha
"... the institution you attend doesn't define you .. what defines you is your own goals and aspirations " Amen. Yes. Perfect. Facts.
Such super advice. I've had a great life and mostly gotten what I wanted, but when things haven't gone to plan, I'm always grateful that I took the time to develop alternative options just in case. All roads lead to Rome
God this is just what I needed. I was up until 3 am last night, as the OCR modular boundaries were leaked, and I’m soooooo stressed.
It’s always good to hear from people who’ve had a stumbling block, but have still thrived and done really well!!!
omg i remember that feeling so SO well, it isn't nice...
GOOD LUCK, try and do something today that keeps your mind off it all !!
She’s by far the best ‘study’ RUclipsr. Also the prettiest.
You posted this on the day Irish students get their leaving cert results AKA if they got into COLLEGE OR NOT
Well done on your timing my friend
Oh Eve, I am in exactly the same position as you were! I have firmed Kings College London for an offer of A*AA and am shitting myself for tomorrow. So damn scared. Glad everything worked out for you though xxx
oh my goodness YOU ARE!! woah that has me DIZZY. best of luck for tomorrow, i'm sure it will all go fine...but IN CASE IT DOESN'T, it can still go GREAT somewhere else!
Eve Cornwell EVE I GOT IN!
Amina Khan congratulations! 😘
Amina Khan congratulations. What did you get and are you studying?
Thank You! x
i just woke up after being sick all day and seeing that you posted is amazing, thank u xx
get better soon !!!
editing was such a bop , and this video was definitely neededd!
bOp to tHE ToP
Eve Cornwell DoNt EvEr StOp
your editing skills are very entertaining
Oh my gosh I really needed your inspirational speech right now, I didn't do too well on a major assignment and I totally freaked out until I watched this. THANK YOU EVE! xxx
omg that makes me so HAPPY. i can't tell you the number of major essays/assignments i totally FUMBLED throughout my time at highschool and uni. one time i had to go to a meeting with one of my tutors because they were like, wtf why is your grade so low ? YAY. but, we can totally get through this - the only way is up !!
Thank you so much! You just made my day! Your videos are amazing and keep up the great work! xxx
actually loved this so much! i’ve firmed a university that might not be the best on the league tables, but where i feel i will be most supported and i will be overall the happiest! it really is true that rankings aren’t everything i suppose! (still cacking myself a little bit for tomorrow ngl but oh well)
Best speech ever, brilliant !
Seeing you grow up and becoming adults so smart is something that makes me happy, thanks for sharing your thoughts and points of view.
I wish you much success in your professional life.
obsessed with your channel. think ive binged almost all lol (help me). im starting law school in the fall and youve definitely inspired me !!!
What sort of person in clearing has got an A*A*A?
Emily Smith
Typically that’s called Adjustment. People who use clearing either did not apply to uni and have changed their mind, or missed their offer and are rejected.
The adjustment system is a separate one for people that hold an offer, have done better and wish to change uni.
They're expecting all those "Oxbridge rejects"
Fanni Kinga Pocsveiler I don’t think so. People who are “Oxbridge Rejects” find out they are so in January. So by the time you miss your offer, and have to enter clearing, you’d already firmed another institution.
So people that miss an Oxbridge offer, have at the most A*AA, as two A* are required for most sciences.
@@VicvicW I meant those who missed their Oxbridge offers, as in got an offer but missed the grade.
My class had people whose offers to Cambridge were A*A*A*. Someone who gets the grade you specified would've missed the offer.
Fanni Kinga Pocsveiler Oh jeez, I didn’t know any course specified that high! What had they applied for?
Yay!! You uploaded! It's literally 12 am here in Alaska but i had to watch as soon as i got the notification
omg :')) i appreciate YOU
Can I just say I LOVE this little setup that you’ve got going on?? Also this was such an interesting insight - I’ve got my gcse results day coming up but honestly this is applicable for that too, always have a plan B!!
Thank you for this Eve! I’m worried I’ve been accepted to my insurance choice but not my firm, and I’ve always felt bad about being so emotionally invested in my firm that I can’t imagine myself at my insurance, but this really reassured me that even if that does happen it might not be so bad !! 🤞🏻
yes YES. i totally feel this. you set up your life and your ambitions around the first choice university, and don't give much/any thought to the other potential outcomes. changing your perspective on where you might attend can be pretty hard, especially when it comes to university and you are so invested in your 'dream' institution. can honestly honestly say i have had the happiest 3 years - university is definitely what you make of it!
Macy Martin I feel exactly the same!!
Cassandra Penny scary stuff
I missed my grades by 1 mark too! I needed A*AA for Psychology at Bath but got AAA (one mark off an A* in one, two marks off in another and 3 marks off in an other) so rang up Bath and they said no! I ended up going to my insurance which was Durham and never looked back 😄 now got a BSc, PGCE and doing my masters!
Isn’t Durham better than bath anyway?
@@jaideepchahal491 not for psychology!
@@relaxing0130 primary!
Lovely video Eve! I really could have used something like this before my results day. Anyone reading this before results day this year, my top advice is to act fast and cry later. There is soooo much choice in clearing and it's totally not the end of the world if you miss your grades but definitely have a plan in place. UCAS have a clearing search tool, I'd recommend to search by university rather than by course at first because there are soooo many places.
I went through clearing in 2016 having missed my firm.( I made loads of mistakes and my firm and Insurance were the same). Decided to take a gap year and that was the best decision ever. Fast forward 2 years, I've just finished my first year at ucl doing the course I wanted at the university I wanted. The gap year personally helped me sooo much and I'm glad I didn't settle for another degree in clearing.
Eve this is the best video because I’m freaking about this happening to me in a couple of days and to see you so successful despite everything that happened. Thank you so much for this video
How did your results go?
Eve, I am in med school and normally just watch for entertainment but this has actually helped a lot. I also did not get into my preferred schools and instead into one I wouldn't consider my least favourite but pretty far down the list. However, there is plenty of opportunities here to learn practical and soft skills, if (!) I take the time to do so. You reminded me, that my skills at the end of this time are my responsibility, so thank you.
I’m so glad you spoke about this , I have my heart set on Kings College London . However my gcse grades are lower than their expectations. I need to get in my head that it may not happen but to look at other choices x
Hi, just to let you know, I attended an Oxbridge q&a a few days ago, and the tutors there said that while they will look at your GCSEs, it's more to see if you have a positive gradient when they're compared to your € levels. I don't know how much lower than expected your grades are, but I can tell you that you don't need to give up just yet! Try hard at a level (which hopefully will be more enjoyable anyway) and King's is definitely still an option!
This video means to some, more than you will ever know.
Thank you.
After watching this I’m almost certain that I’m going to take a gap year first so that if I don’t get the grades I want I don’t have to panic about my university place. This is very reassuring though - good to know that if you don’t end up where you wanted it could lead you to somewhere much much better :) good luck with everything, I wish I was as focused as you!
yess, i know lots of people that took a gap year before starting!! and i'm so glad - it's true too!! university is definitely what you make of it! best of luck for everything !!
Aww thank you :)
This speaks to me, even being from Australia. My first choice was just based on the fact that I wanted to go to the best university near me but I got my third choice and it was actually a godsend. I would have only been able to study one speciality at my first choice, but the program for my career choice at my university was actually so diverse and was actually in the top 20 the world for my choice of study when I was enrolled. I would never have gotten the job I love just a couple days after finishing my degree. I would never have made the same industry connections which is so important because the industry is so small where I live. My university also just offered so much more diversity and opportunity than I would have ever gotten at my first choice, and I look back at that girl from 7 years ago and think she was insane. I had just wanted the best but that wasn't what was best for me!
Great video, took me straight back to results day three years ago haha, time flies. Glad to hear that everything worked out just fine for you despite plans changing! x
the queen of storytime♥️
I think it’s soooo good at that there is actually a British person talking about this bc not everyone is from the us
I'm so jealous in the U.K you can apply to law programs straight after high school. In Canada, you have to complete your Bachelors (4 year degree) and sometimes even with honours, to be eligible to apply for law school. It's the same with Med schools here too :(
I suppose it's similar to the US. But honestly, I think that the average age of law students should be higher. Experience is needed for successful lawyers. As someone who started law school after high school, the transition is pretty scary.
this is such a good and reassuring video i am going to be watching this on repeat when opening my college admissions later this year
I 100% agree that a specific school doesn't matter. I had a specific law school in mind because it was the big school in my state but just being around the students made me feel uneasy and like 'I wasn't worthy' which sucks but then I went to an event for another law school and the environment was such a family style and everything about the school felt right. I start in the fall and I'm so excited
Got my Leaving Cert Results today which is the Irish equivalent to the A levels. I missed my top uni but over the past few hours I’ve accepted and gotten v excited for my 2nd choice!! Thanks for this video eve, I look forward to each video more and more 💛
What did you get and what course are you studying ? And did you apply to uk
wow, i applied for law with UCL as my firm and Bristol my insurance and the main thing i'm concerned about is employability so this really really helped. thank you eve
Lovin’ the Kevin abstract here 🙌🏼
IM STRESSEDDD ✨
this hits different in ✨covid 19✨
I went through this exact thing a couple months ago, in the US. I had my heart and mind set on one University and when I applied to the business school, I was rejected. And the scramble ensued. But in the end I’m going to an amazing school that will save me half of what i would’ve paid for the dream school. Love the video Eve!
I LOVE YOU EVE
I really like your advice eve..I believe results do not define your inner potential or knowledge.
this is such a good video!! really helpful and kind of soothed my nerves for results day, much love x
how did you do? :)
@@stardropboy really well thank you :)
OMGG your so cuteee! Thanks for your videos as always!
i loved the entire video but the inspirational segment was definitely my favourite
luv u 😤
Eve Cornwell i love u also 💘💕
Literally love all your videos! Super inspiring. Subscribed so fast
This story was honestly kind of relatable. Last year I got back my VCE results (your end of yr12 school results if you live in Victoria, Australia) and I did bad. Like a lot worse than I was expecting and ended up getting into my last of 8 uni preferences. Anyways I did the course I got into for a semester (the first half of this year) and as soon as I could I applied for transfer to what had always been my dream uni and dream course (also my original first preference). I then worked really hard at the uni I ended up at (this uni which I, in the end, hated, it messed with my mental health and the course wasn’t right for me) and eventually my hard work paid off and I got into my dream course at my dream uni, which I’m currently at now and I’m so happy and I’m loving it so much. Proof that it always works out in the end 😌
I was exactly the same 3 years ago - I missed my a level grades, cried a LOT, luckily got into my insurance choice but with no plan b. It was actually great for me as I’ve had the best uni experience ever and have a better overall degree. I’m so happy things worked out for you and good luck with everything for the upcoming year ☺️❤️
YES YES!! literally ME. i'm so happy things worked out for you too - SLAY QUEEN
I’m getting my AS results tomorrow and I’m honestly so worried that I haven’t done well enough to actually get into my dream university next year :( hopefully I’ve done ok but this video really made me feel a lot better!! Love u so much tho
thank you for this!!!! IM a junior and I'm really interested in law school and thanks for the advice; I will definitely try to keep my options open instead of just looking at one school and hoping that I get into.
youre weirdly inspirational.. in a v disfunctionaly relatable way
it's super interesting to me to hear about results day and the processes leading up to uni itself bc in Canada it's completely different! Much less organized haha but regardless I would not want to go through the uni admissions process again...so stressful!
I love that you're sharing this story right now because it's so relevant! We love a helpful motivational queen.
I'm such a firm believer in where you end up is where you're meant to be (even though it might not seem like it at the time!). I didn't get into my first choice school either, but the uni I'm at now has my entire heart and I feel so lucky to be there. If it's meant to be it'll be, ya know? (not saying not to work hard and just hope for the best instead lmao)
Loved the inspriational speech, actually made me rethink my life choice :')
Final year student about to graduate here and honestly I’m so glad I didn’t get into my first choice. Half way through my degree I realised I didn’t like my course and I would have been tied into a much longer degree doing something that doesn’t make me happy had I gone to my first choice. It might feel like the end of the world if you don’t get into your first choice or even your insurance, but I promise, it will all be okay. Also unis know that they will take students through insurance/clearing so don’t worry about accommodation or registering, it’s really not a problem.
I was really surprised that I got a C for History when I was predicted A* as well and will be doing Law at Birmingham this coming Sept!
TealPeppermint05 what were u other grades?
I needed this video 😭😭 Two weeks in law school and I already feel so lost and hopeless HELP 😭😭😭
Your videos are so good and wholesome u really deserve many more subscribers 😘
Eve please upload a fresher's guide!#emergency❣
it's on its way...!!
I did get into my first choice but hated it and dropped out and took a year out and was much happier at a different University.
I really want to go Bristol, and ngl I visited kings and I was like nah, London isn’t a city for students- and the accommodation was more expensive. This video is so inspiring thank you you absolute queen x
I choked on my tea when you chocked on your coffee!
I’m looking for law schools I can go to for exchange in a year or so and I was worried about the uni itself, like if it was good enough for it to make an impression for future employers. What you said is right, it’s not about the institution itself (as long as they support you), it’s about how someone is as a person and how driven they are, that makes the impression. Thanks for giving a struggling law student some help😅
This helps so much. Oxford applicant with Bristol as my second choice, and I've never looked past Oxford and have always catered my life toward that... But this just *helps*
Hope you got in! Oxford rejected me lolol
lovin the kevin abstract playing 💚
I really start applying to universities starting next month (in the US), and while our education systems are different I still found this video very helpful and informative! I'm super nervous that I may not get into my first choice school but even if I don't, I need to know that it'll be okay. (Even though I'll probably cry a lot lol)
It's also super interesting that you guys can only apply to 5 universities, here you can apply to as many as you want (but many people don't apply to too many because of application fees). I plan on applying to 9 I believe, but I have also heard some crazy stories of people applying to 30+ schools!
oh wow thats so interesting, i actually don't know much about the US college system !!
yeah exactly, i FEEL THAT. i guess, you kinda know, even if you don't get plan A, it will be okay, but that ain't going to stop u CRYING and MOURNING your planned out path. whatever happens, i'm such a strong believer in everything happens for a reason, i was definitely somehow supposed to go to Bristol and meet all of my amazing friends. YOU WILL BE FINE, and i'm ROOTING for you!
Application is Free here
I remember the time when I actually passed the exam in my dream school and was supposed to study Filmmaking but it was too expensive so I resorted to thinking how I can at least help my parents with financial (by saving up a huge amount of money) and risked my dream study/work. I passed in that school and now I’m a fourth year student (graduating) and have no fees/tuition to pay at all! It is a blessing ♥️
wow WOW. that is incredible, you are such an incredible individual. i hope you are super proud, that's amazing. it is certainly a blessing, but you worked HARD for that, it's also a reward for your work. xx
Eve Cornwell I did and I’m super proud! ☺️ actually had the opportunity to receive an honor last sem which made me feel happier with my work. ALL tears, headaches, efforts WILL pay off in the end. BTW super proud of you, Eve! I look up to you as a role model ever since I subscribed on your channel. Love yaaaaa!
I got A*AB aswell, and got rejected from my AAA uni of Manchester offer. Im so upset, now im going to a Manchester Met which is BBC/BCC. It’s disgusting that they rejected me, but I’ll just make the most out of a bad situation. I will try my best, I can always go to do a masters at a Russel group
thats ridiculous lol A*AB is equivalent to AAA?? wishing u lots of luck at manchester met, im sure you'll end up enjoying it :)
@@nelynels thanks for the best wishes 😊, I got my English remarked and it went up by 14 marks. I have A*AA now, I got my place back at the Uni of Manchester.
I literally screamed when I got your post notification 😂❤
I got into my first choice but to do a foundation year in chemical engineering rather than going into 1st year, and I honestly don't regret doing an extra year, if I hadn't I wouldn't have understood my course at all because I didn't do physics and now I'm working for a really big engineering firm, your university doesn't define you at all. It's all down to the effort and you networking you put into your course and meeting people who can help you progress in a career you want.
Hi Eve, I'm an international student from China, studying in Australia currently, and applying for UK uni next yr. I'm so panic now bc I'm afraid of there's no school accept me😭😭And it's way too hard to apply law as an international student😭(My dream school is Durham and insurance gonna be Leeds) Wish me good luck. And thank you for doing heaps of great videos and you actually give me a lot of good advise, thank you so much and please never give up this channel.👱🏻♀️
Very late to the party here but I was in a similar situation to you! Had oxford as my firm and then flunked a levels - was annoyingly close to what I needed but I got remarks and there was no change - so I ended up at Nottingham which was my insurance and I absolutely love it! Everything happens for a reason.
eve i looooved this video so much wtf !! 💗💗
My results is tomorrow and I feel sick to my stomach ahhh
G O O D L U C K !!! try and take your mind off it all today, do something WILD
I wanna do law and am predicted AAA but the uni i'm applying to are AAB but chance so fingers crossed i should be fine.
yes yes GOOD LUCK !! u've got this!
"feel like shane" well that aged well
And here's me sitting here with an unconditional to my first choice uni 😅 I still want to get good grades though. Good luck everyone sitting A-Level exams in the next few weeks. We can do this!
ImagineFandoms
How does someone get an unconditional??
