    Hi for essex's biochemistry course they say they want AAB-ABB so what do they want does it depend on how high your grades are?

    Thats an advisory, depending on the amount of applications and the grades that the candidates have. they'll make an offer depending on your interview, if they like you you'll get a lower offer.

    It's a guide which is mean to be representative of the most prevalent offers - they can deviate as much or as little as they want and, as stated above, this will be dependent on the rest of your application with emphasis on the interview.

    Reviving this thread rather than making another; would you expect that having more relevant a levels would contribute to being offered the lower grade requirements (for politics)? I think I'll be keeping History, Govt. and Politics, and Economics.
