Re: How often does Uni bend backwards to give you a lower offer...Some universities will consider giving you a lower offer if you come from a failing or poor school as well. I can't find the original article about it (it was a while ago!) but a google search highlighted a clause in Bristols entrance requirements saying this - and I'm sure there were a few others as well.

Re: How often does Uni bend backwards to give you a lower offer...it happens, the grades advertised are only a guide to entry for instance say the grades required were abb if they felt the need they could demand 3 a* or simply DDD its completely at their discretion, its not especially common though, youd need to have something truly outstanding on your application or the course to be incredibly under subscribed maybe, but no its not especially common at all.
