Lower grades than my predicted! HELP?!?
I have received an offer both form the university of Glasgow and the university of ABerdeen. I am taking the Greek Apolytirion which is measured on a 20 point scale. My predicted grade was 18.8/20. Glasgow asked for 19/20 and Aberdeen for 18/20. As the year went by, I realised that I could not achieve neither 19 nor 18.8. Therefore, I placed Aberdeen as my firm offer. Now, I believe that my grade will be around 17.8/20. Is there any chance that Aberdeen won't accept me for a 0.2 difference (especially when it's a scale that has decimal points)? Also, will the university be more flexible, becaused I placed it as my firm choice?

...
Often universities will prefer to take Firm Candidates who are very close rather than look at Clearing Candidates but that may not be the case ... they may have more than enough who have met their offer
