predicted BBC/BCC should i apply to ABB/BBB?

The question is in the title, the reason is that my computing teacher may predict me a B or C she hasn't decided yet :mad:

i REALLLY want to get into Surrey, who need ABB :frown:

im thinking of applying to BBB/BBC/BCC universities, but do i have a chance with surrey?

( applying for computer science )

Sorry to break it to you, but you don't have a chance if you're not predicted the right requirements (eg. ABB). Perhaps you could convince your teachers to predict higher and then work your arse off? Have a look at some other unis and hopefully you'll find some more you love.

Yes, you have a chance with Surrey. Even with low predictions, they can still call you to interview if they like you[r Personal Statement] and make you an offer of ABB. You'd just have to meet it, that's all.

If you are below their entry requirements, you will not get an offer, unless you have extenuating circumstances or have some outstanding genius-like qualities or experience.
I would say don't do it, it's a waste of a choice.
If you are so desperate for surrey, could you retake some modules and apply next year? You would need to take a gap year though.

Not even with a decent personal statement?

You will not be getting an offer, so its pointless applying.

Yes, it's worth applying. I was predicted the same sort of grades (I applied for Law, though not at Surrey) and needed ABB to get in, I ended up with AAB and felt totally smug when I went to gloat at the teachers who predicted me B's and C's.

so did the uni accept you with you're predicted grades?
if not, u had to settle with B/C unis even thought u got AAB.

I heard Surrey are quite leniant with requirements, allowing BBC in place of the original offer of BBB for example.

thanks, do you know how competitive the computer science course is at Surrey?

You could apply to a couple of places (including Surrey) if you so wish, but leave a couple of spaces for unis you know you'll meet the requirement grades for. You might get conditional offers in which you'll have to get higher grades than those predicted... I can't see you getting in if you don't meet the requirements. Anyway, as I said, leave a couple of places for 'safer' unis but, by all means, go for it.

This is what I would do if I was you :
1. ABB+ offer choice
2. BBB offer choice
3. BBB offer choice
4. BBC offer choice
5. CCC-BCC offer choice

That way you have 1 high choice, 3 moderate ones and a safety choice, that's just how I've always played it anyway lol

I agree. When I went on the open day, our 'guides' had ABB/AAB offers and got in with BCD.
