A level; missed my GBBA conditional by two grades, waiting on the Committee, what should I expect?
Has anyone here missed their conditional offer and still been admitted?
I have a conditional admission for the Global BBA starting this September. The condition I was told about was AAB. I got ABC, the C is in Business, which I know is the worst subject for it to be in.
Some context on my side:
- I paid the Place Reservation deposit back in March, so my spot has been reserved for months
- My admission letter doesn't actually say AAB. It says my final grades need to be "in line with IE minimum academic requirements," which is vaguer than the number I was quoted at an info session
- There was a serious family emergency during my exam period, which pretty much happened when i had business and it didtrscted me from my studies. It was something very severe and I notified admissions about it before results day and even added news articles, with documentation, and they confirmed they'd take it into account. I also have a written statement from a member of staff at my school. My predicted grades were AAB. Two of the three predictions were exactly right, except only Business diverged, and it dropped two grades, and thats when the whole incident happened
I sent my results in on results day and I'm now waiting on the Admissions Committee, who said they'd come back within three working days.
So my questions for anyone who's been through this:
- Has anyone actually had a place revoked by IE after paying the reservation deposit? I can't find a single case online
- If you missed your condition, did they just confirm you anyway, or did they offer something else, like a January intake, deferral, conditions attached?
- How literally does IE treat the grade condition versus the "holistic" language they use everywhere?
Not looking for reassurance particularly, just want to know what actually happens and most importantly, am I cooked?
