"According to the news Ucas have mucked up in scotland"

apparently they wrongly interpreted the data and loads of people (several thousand) who scored 48 and 49 on certain papers which is a D had there results interpreted as a C and tis was sent to the Unis and some places have been wrongly confimed. apparently some offers "could be rescinded" in these cases but i doubt it will happen as they are unlikely to bother over a couple of marks as most will lower their offers anyway in near miss cases. Hope anyone effected gets to keep their place.

So does this mean Sheepy is actually a drunken tool with the results of yet another Mcdufus?

It has been blown wayyyy out of proportion by the media.

Big time.

Nah, it hasn't effected anyone. Well, anyone I know.

has anyone who any of you scots know been effected by this. or have the news blown it out of proportion?

Meh!

It's Scotland anyway, so who cares?

I'm Scottish. Wahey! :-D

Sigh... I was expecting something like this. But it's a bit unfair if people who shouldn't be going to Uni do, so all grades should be recalled, and everything they think they got wrong re-marked. It's only fair

Ah well, not much of a surprise nowadays. Maybe we should just assume they'll get it wrong, and then we can have some happy news when they don't.
