I was thinking of Cardiff university but what other four?
Liverpool, kent? Any suggestions. I want to choose 1 thats below my predicted grades as well but i cannot pick one. Help

Well, I applied to Bath Leeds Cardiff Reading and Kent this year, tho sadly I got rejected by the first two so I'm going to Cardiff now. I also took into consideration Birmingham or Aston, Nottingham and Manchester. Well, Kent is a good one as they're a pretty decent biz school (I think) and has a lower entry requirement too. Hope this helps! :wink:
Bath's a solid pick, im sure they'd allow A*A*B - and they dont want an interview
LSE is a maybe, not sure if the B would throw them off
Lancaster recently just hit 5th place for A&F and only asks for AAB which is a steal
Durham has a 5 year integrated masters called financial accounting with a placement for AAB
Kent's solid as your lowest option.
Exeter's also high up there, or if you like a quiet atmosphere - try Warrwick.
In Birmingham there is one called Aston University. My uncle went there and now he is a VERY successful accountant. It's really good for accountancy and stuff. Good luck & I hope I helped! :smile:
Yeah you could get an offer from Warwick I'm sure, LSE depending on your GCSE grades

Hi there,
My personal recommendation would be to apply to Oxford/Cambridge. A*A*B is the equivelant of A*AA, which is the entry requirement for said universities. Drop the holy mother****ing **** out of your 4th A-Level. Otherwise, my recommendation would be to pursue a career in manual labour.
Regards,

Oxbridge don't offer A&F and A*A*B doesn't technically meet the A*AA standard.

I wish to be doing economics; but my reserve is Accounting and finance at Bath. Bath is number 1 for A an F. I offers a year in industry.

AAA is their offer

Ie my choices are:

LSE (economics)
Warwick (economics)
UCL (economics)
Nottingham/bristol/durham (i have no clue!) (economics)
Bath (A and F)

Lancaster would be worth looking at - possibly for your insurance as I believe they are quite flexible on grades ifn you miss the offer. They want AAB and B at maths gcse
