Business strict on grades?I'm quite confused. To get into Portsmouth studying Business Studies BA Hons they want BBC (280 points) yet when i sent my target grades I was predicted BCCD, and they only take the top three...which would be BCC making it 260 points. Does this firstly mean if I get BCC I will still get in because those were my target grades were and I got an offer. Also, I do think I'll only get BCC, is there a good chance I will still get in. I dont know if this makes much sense?? Need some help!

I hope that they aren't that strict! I'm predicted 280 (A*,C and D) but already know that I have the A* and C as they were BTECs! And i took the other subject last year getting an E, just retaking it! Still absolutely ****ting bricks about not getting the grade, even though i only have to go up one grade boundary! :/
Btw, I'm hoping to be doing business studies at Portsmouth as well this year
I spoke to some of my friends who are there this year, and they have said that some of their coursemates got in even though one of them was 2 grades below the offer for one subject and 1 grade on the other! So I'm sure you should be absolutely fine! Also, I saw on the UCAS extra thing that there was still places on the course a few months back
I hope that this was at least SOME help?

Re: Business strict on grades?This was great help thank you very much. And send me an email, would be nice to get to know other people on the course before I get there! And I've heard Portsmouth is very good and if anything the lifestyle of the students seems to be very high!!
