The logical thing would be to call and ask? They will be happy to tell you over the phone.

I'm predicted A*AA but would much prefer it if i wasn't made such an offer based on this...
Will you DEFINITELY be made an A*AA offer if you are predicted one A*?
So far.. GCSEs: 11 A*s
A/S: Chem (B) Bio(A) Maths (A) Latin (A)
UKcat: 710 average.
PLEASEE HELP APPLICATION DUE IN IN TWO DAYS TIME
There's no DEFINITE answer. But the best thing to do would be to call admissions tomorrow to see how they are using the A* grade/offer. Someone posted a while back having been to the open day last year that they were introducing the A* offer to distinguish between the ''ability'' of an A student and an A* student, as well as preventing over predicting. Soooo I guess that statement alone does kind of suggest that, but on the other hand, it might also be for the borderline candidates AFTER interview who their not completely sure on hence give them a higher offer.

Thanks for your advice but it's a bit late now because the admissions office is closed in the weekend
hi this is my first post on the whole forum ha, i've been browsing through for a while but when i saw this thread i decided i just had to join!
peninsula is my dream place to study medicine, i looked around the open day last year and absolutely fell for it. my boyfriend is also at exeter uni this year (i'm not chosing peninsula because of this, ha) but it's a massive bonus, right?
i'm not sure how great my chances are at getting in, i haven't done my ukcat yet, it's in a week and a half, but i'm studying like mental for it! last year (i'm a second time applicant!) i got 630, which was like 15 or so below their cut off apparently? but this year i have revised a lot more, and feel much more capable so i'm hoping for a score nearer 700.
i got 4 A's at A-level, including bio and chem, however i got 3A's and a C at AS :s i also got 5A*s and 4A's at gcse, all the stars were in my science subjects. i'm also applying for a job in health care this year, and cramming in as much extra experience as possible! fingers crossed!
alsoooo, why are some people saying their deadline for their application is in a few days time? isn't it 15th october? i checked and rechecked on the ucas website and it definitely says the 15th! got me worried though, ha! x

i have called but they always say we can't tell until we get all the applications. so applying may be a gamble but may not be depending on this years ukcat cut off.
They don't use the UKCAT right? And applicants are ranked based on academic achievements as far as I am aware. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
The best course of action would probably to get in contact with admissions to see if they're consider you at all, if not it's a wasted space
Do you mean with my gcse grades? hmm :/. Because I am a resit applicant my other choices are A* uni's and I would need to be predicted a A* which my school don't do.
