    Are you seriously incapable of doing your own research? As this seems to be the case do you honestly think universtiy is the place of person who is incapable?

    Instead of looking at these so called 'decent' unversity you should look at university that show the same capablabilties as yourself. May London South Bank or London Met do you?

    Seriously What kind of reply are you after? blah blah you should go to bristol they have easy entry requirements blah blah. I mean seriously... show some intellgence.

    This is a justified opinion on the question asked.

    Bit unnecessary?

    OP, your Russell Group Unis will want in the A*AA - AAA range MOSTLY.

    But it's all course dependent. More competitive course will want AAA but less competitive might ask for less. Try UCAS or unistats

    I applied for Leeds University this year, and they gave me an offer of AAB. I also applied for Manchester and Nottingham, who gave me ABB, but like others have said they can give higher offers for different courses! :yep:
    Hope this helped!

    PS - I guess it depends on the course you want to do! What subjects are you looking at?

    Really?! Gosh, that's high! :eek: I suppose I don't really know much about Economics courses, but I'm sure if you look on UCAS you'll be able to find some unis that offer AAB. If you're getting AAB grades that's fantastic, and I'm sure you won't have too much of a problem finding good unis that require this!

    I think York have increased their requirements to AAA-AAB, but I think that they'll give an AAB offer to anyone with A2 level maths, as quite a few people, including myself applied to York and got this offer. I was also told at the open day by the admissions tutor that if you narrowly miss your offer, or if you have subjects like Maths, Physics and Chemistry, then chances are you'll be given an offer even if you're predictions are lower, and that they are very flexible on results day.

    I think Exeter ask for A*AA-AAB, and rarely give out A*AA offers. Glasgow is AAB, so is Queen Mary and Sheffield, which are all pretty decent.
