History at Warwick requires AAAc. Try using www.whatuni.com to find somewhere a bit more realistic.

Yeah I have a friend who got an E but he got ABB for biochemistry and they took him so they say it but don't always mean it.

Even if the course ends up in clearing, history is very competitive. You still have another year, right? See what grades you're predicted and go from there. If you have your heart set on Warwick, it's worth at least trying.

I got in through adjustment.

adjustment needed AAB rather than the usual AAB.

Not at all. Adjustment is where you have the chance to 'trade up' if you meet and exceed your firm offer. Clearing is (usually) where you have missed both your firm and your insurance and are looking for places lower down.

so would that mean if i applied for the ancient history course, and exceed/meet my offer i could possibly get in through adjustment?

If the university is participating in adjustment and for that course. It's more of a mystery about what's in adjustment, because no official lists are published and you have to call up the university on spec and ask if they are interested in you.

With those results & predicted grades it's very unlikely you'd get an offer but you could still try. However, as many others have mentioned, if you got AAA at A2 you could try and get into Warwick via adjustment.
