and i think they take into account whether your siblings have been to uni before you or not. if they havent then u can get into uni through some scheme i cant remember - they lower the grades for you.

I think that they also take into account your immediate family who have gone into university education, so if you've had an uncle or an aunt who have got a degree, chances are they won't lower the grade.

yeh maybe. but to be honest a lot of uni's end up lowering the grades anyway..i had to get A-A-A/B to get into leicester for law. i got 2b's and a C and i still got in.

I'm sure they take into account the number of siblings? I'm sure i saw that on the form last year...
yeah they do - but only if you're being means tested methinks. Most of my friends' parents earn loads, like way above the threshold, but they have like 3 - 5 siblings either studying or going to uni in a few years time, so they won't get any money because the parents are expected to 'help out'.
It's all a bit rubbish to be honest.
What are y'all studying? I'm excited about going to uni
