    Isn't that what Cambridge students call anglia Ruskin? Haven't heard OU calling OB that before (I did apply to OB this year)

    So apparently entry requirements that are stated on a university's website mean sod all nowadays. Someone has posted saying they were offered ABB to study History at UCL! A second person reports of an offer being made of AAA to do Law at Nottingham when their prospectus states A*AA.

    This has properly cheesed me off. I didn't apply to top a 5 uni because AAA was out of my reach. AAB, however, is an almost certainty, and now I feel cheated.

    This annoyance aside, only Bristol, Nottingham and St Andrews - of the top uni's - offer my course, so I can't be too disgruntled seeing as I am going to one of them.

    My offer us very kind too
    320 points
    I get 70 points from a scheme my uni does so that means I only need 250 points from 4 A- levels.

    C is 80 points, D is 60 points

    So 250 points will be DDDC from 4 A levels (60 + 60 + 60 + 80 = 260)

    Wow :P

    Have no idea about Law at Nottingham but I'm pretty sure it is A*AA to do History at UCL, and it is ABB to do History at SSEES (which is now part of UCL). They are two separate programs, so perhaps that person got an offer for SSEES and not the other history course? :dontknow:

    It's only like that because I got the 70 points from the scheme otherwise it would be harder to get

    I got BCCD at AS as well so if I miss my offer something terrible would have happened in every exam

    4 C's is 320 points so that would be 390 overall

    I got BCCD at AS so should be fine, I'm so glad I got the 70 points from the scheme thingy my uni does otherwise it would be more stressful for me and therefore harder

    I do need 160 from two though but that's only 2 C's so should be fine

    What is SSEES?
    School of Slavonic and East European Studies. If you study a SSEES history degree, it is concentrated on the history of Russia and other Eastern European countries (as you probably deduced from the name of the school). UCL took over SSEES a while back, probably the late 90s/early 2000s.

    Nottingham's A*AA offer is for applications in the 2013 cycle. Not the current one.

    In sig, but...

    ABB with an A in either of my sciences, Bs in the other science and economics. That's for Optometry at Anglia Ruskin.

    BCC with B in biology for Orthoptics at Liverpool.

    BCC shouldn't be an issue in the slightest, but ABB is maybe a little high.
