If you have an AAB prediction or AAB at AS (or both) and apply to an AAA-AAB course, will you get an AAA offer or an AAB offer? And same if you have an AAA prediction with AAA at AS?
No, no, no. I was predicted ABC the uni I applied to was AAA-AAB I got an AAB offer whilst people I knew were predicted A*AB and got an AAA offer.
That's one anecdotal case. In general the lower offer is for candidates they want more or have taken the most relevant subjects or those who have extenuating circumstances. I applied to a course at UCL who stated their typical offer was A*AA-AAA I was predicted A*A*A and was given an offer of AAA.

That happened to everyone I know (unless they were predicted what they university asked for without variation) and none of us had extenuating circumstances and all the same/similar subjects...
Thanks everyone. So basically if I'm a more desirable candidate, I'll generally get a lower offer, but never write off the higher offer as I don't have any extenuating circumstances (God forbid I do)?

Wait, doesn't extenuating circumstance allow a drop in grade? As it makes sense that way.
