I was predicted 3 As by my teachers. Had to rush into school at 8am after a call from my HOY. After I could finally log in to UCAS, I saw that I was declined by all my offers. My results: BCB #dentistry #examshambles #alevels2020 #results

@JWillia21934701 It’s absolutely ridiculous! And it’s crazy to see how many different courses are affected by this in the same way! We shouldn’t be forced to take a gap year, yet it’s happening and I still cannot process it. Have you thought about what you will do this academic year?

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

Despite this, I decided to raise my voice, start this Twitter page because I knew there would be so many other students in the same position as me and write a petition- I felt so exposed doing all this but I though it was better to stay active ...

@JWillia21934701 Hi, thanks! My ofqual grades came down to BCB, hence got rejected. Leeds have forwarded my case to the complaints team so I am still waiting to hear back from them but if I don’t get my place back for 2020, I have no choice but to take a gap year. What course have you applied to?

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

@IR_Tharparkar @GavinWilliamson @BBCNews Really sorry to hear this, Sir. I lost my place for Dentistry this year and have been deferred to next year entry unfairly. More needs to be done to help us people. #HonourtheOffer #university #dentistry #medicine #AlevelResults #CAGsappeal

@GavinWilliamson Just because of you and Ofqual who took months to create wrong algorithm and 4 days to accept mistake my daughter lost her place in UCL medicine and deferred to one year - @BBCNews #LiftTheCapOnMedicine

[Iqbal Rahmoon @iqbal_rahmoon]

@ucas_online Government or universities can’t force to the students to take gap year when they have worked hard for this year and by doing this we are not solving problem but moving this year issue to next year where it will impacting upcoming medical students and loss of 1 year for current

[James @ballkicker77]

So a two tier system of results where some have moderated and some haven’t is now in play and students of those that pre standardised are told “tough luck”

When the rest of the country needed better grades, we spoke out. Now we have become the minority, no one speaks for us. Where are our deserving grades? Where is the justice for Resit students, Medical, Dental and Veterinary applicants?

@Ty21946780 Thank you so much, I’m just trying to come to terms with it- obviously all my future plans have been thrown under the bus and I have to think of other things to fill this time gap

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

I am shocked at the revised offers unis are making based on the failure of the government to act quicker!!! #HonourTheOffer #dentistry #medicine #AlevelResults #CAGsappeal

@TheSidShuklaCom Hi. Please read my tweet replies below this tweet.

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

@Ty21946780 I am hearing the same thing happening to Medicine offerholders- were extra places even created? If so, who have they been given to? #HonourTheOffer

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

@Ty21946780 I exceeded my offer and had this uni as my firm choice but there has been absolutely no explanation whatsoever about what basis this decision was taken on, apart from the fact that it’s to ensure they are able to ‘provide the best educational experience’

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

But the government released the cap on funding to create more places for entry in 2020 for Medicine AND Dentistry so why is Dentistry excluded from this? @UniversityLeeds #HonourtheOffer we need answers and clarity! #AlevelResults #university #dentistry

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

@Staceyrich_ @UniversityLeeds @ucas_online No, I have emailed them twice since the explosive email on 25/08/20 but there has been no response ...

[SG @gkg990212]

@MGLWorld_Kerri @tes Almost derailed? Fact: It derailed the hopes of high achieving aspiring medics and dentists. #AlevelResults @aspiringdms @CAGappeals

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

I think we all could do with some lighthearted humour 😂🙄

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

BREAKING: Storm Francis downgraded to light breeze after Gavin Williamson finds out it went to a state school.

[aspiring_medic @aspiringmedic2]

With all due respect, it hurts that #alevel21protest and #alevel21strike are trending, yet us #ALevels2020 are forgotten about. Resit candidates, Medical, Dental and Veterinary applicants deserve better. #CAGsappeal #Ofqual #HonourTheOffer #ALevels2020 #ALevel

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

#HonourtheOffer #AlevelResults #ALevelProtests #CAGSAppeals #cag read and share this thread- I won’t be silenced and I will not back down, no matter how tough it gets!

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

Today I cried. And I cried a lot. After holding myself together since Results Day and having to literally fight for the place I earned, this feels like the biggest knock back.

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

@saimsyy It’s honestly heartbreaking and I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this! I really don’t understand what this test is... I feel broken and so upset, I just hope everything works out for us all as soon as ♥️😢

[Aspiring Dentists/Medics @aspiringdms]

After securing my place for entry in 2020, getting unfair downgraded grades because of the school I attended and then being rejected by my firm offer for Dentistry - I completely lost hope and was left in total shock and despair.
