There are some universities like Manchester that ask for such wide grade boundaries. Does anyone know when they would ask for AAA and when they'd ask for ABB?
ABB is likely the contextual offer, so if you don't fit this it'll likely be the higher offer
Sorry, can you explain what you mean by contextual offer? You mean, if my predicted grades are ABB, they'll offer ABB? And if my predicted are AAA, then they'll offer AAA?

Hi, I also saw Exeter do this for a course I want to do!
I think they will lower your offer if your personal statement and references are exceptional.
Whereas, if you didn't have very good PS/REF, then your offer will probably be a bit higher.

No, contextual offer means that if you are someone who is from a low performing school, have a post code from a disadvantaged area and other factors, they will give you a contextual offer. Not your predictions.

I'm from a disadvantaged area, but not from a low performing school (I got into a grammar school further away from where i live - i don't go to the nearby schools, which are bad, and am one of the very few to get into agrammar school from my area) - does this mean Manchester will probably offer AAA to me if i get an offer?
