Will I be less likely to be made an offer if I have missed the entrance requirements?

I want to do Politics at a Uni. The entrance requirements are BBB. I got ABC at AS, so does that mean the Uni is less likely to interview me and give me a conditional offer? Say if I give a good Personal Statements etc?

Thanks.

If your teachers predict you at least BBB you should have a good chance, even BBC could get you in depending on the strength of your personal statement. Maybe resit the C so you have more chance of getting a B in that subject at A2 :smile:

Thanks for the advice. I got an A in Politics, B in business studies and a C in applied I.T. It is border line B.

If I apply (in the smae Uni) for International Politics with Conflict studies instead of stright Politics, would I have more of a chance og getting a place as it should be less competative?

What Uni is it?

My teachers predicted me CCD for A2... and the lowest Uni I applied to wanted CCC (highest was BBB), and I got all 5 of my offers! Can vary though, my school tend to predict people lower, so that when we surpass them (I got BBC), it makes them look good.

Well I got BCC at AS and got offers of ABB and BBB, so it is possible. I was also predicted ABC.

OK. We get a new teacher for I.T in A2. (At AS we had 2 seperate ones).
How can I get my new applied I.T teacher to predict me a grade if he hasn't had any experiance of me or my work?
