Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Quick question

Hi, I've got a quick question.

It's likely I'll be predicted ABB, does that mean I can't apply/ I won't receive an offer from a university wanting AAB?

Thanks a lot.

I was predicted ABB, applied to AAB unis, got conditional offers from them all and got into my firm :smile:

it's more about your personal statement for a lot of unis but don't get me wrong, I'm sure there will be unis that will reject you too.

Depends on the course demand I guess but definitely apply :smile:

just make sure you have one or two back up choices.

EDIT: It wouldn't be a bad idea making a call to the unis of your choice to ask about the likelihood of getting an offer of AAB with lower predicted grades :smile:

It means that you're less likely to get an offer, but by no means does it mean you won't get an offer. Universities look at a lot f things, and if they think you're capable of getting AAB then they may very well give you an offer for that.

You've got 5 choices so the reward far outweighs the risk! It would be better if the A was in the subject most related to your course but then there's so many other things to look at it doesn't matter too much. A fab PS will see you through to getting offers :smile:

I got ABBBB when I finished Year 12, I applied to Bath to do Maths (Only having B's in Maths and Further Maths) and I got an offer of A*AA with no STEP/AEA! Admittedly I didn't get in but it shows that grades aren't the be all and end all (But still damn important!)

The entry requirements are just a guideline, if you are one grade under and they really like you because you have a great personal statement and reference, then they will more than likely make you an offer. Make sure your personal statement is as good as it can be.
