Applying to a uni with higher entry requirements?

They might make you a lower offer of A*AA if they really like you, but if your predicted grades are A*AA it is unlikely they will give you an offer of A*A*A as you haven't been predicted that so it would be a waste and also slightly unfair on you if you didn't achieve that

And whether they like me or not would depend on my personal statement I assume?

Yes, also interviews if there is any

They're going to have loads of applicants with the grades they want so it's unlikely. You get 5 places to apply to though so no harm in applying to one or two that are above your predicted grades on the off chance.

Say if I do get A*A*A and UCL isn't in my 5 slot choices, would I be able to apply through adjustment?

UCL are unlikely to have any spare places available for adjustment but never say never.

They will offer A*AA with a 1 in a STEP paper so as long as you take STEP in June then they may give you an offer

Hey,
I've been predicted A*AA for maths, further maths and psychology A levels respectively. I'm really happy with my predictions, but I wanted to know would I be able to get conditional offers from unis that require A*A*A (A*s in maths and further maths)? I'm looking to apply to UCL, their requirements are A*A*A with the A*s in maths and further maths. Would they instantly reject me as my predicted grades are below their requirements? Or would they perhaps consider the possibility of me exceeding my predicted grades? This is for a maths degree.
thanks

Yeah that's their offer for those with an A rather than an A* in Further Maths. If I do apply, they would be expecting me to take the STEP paper. If I don't take the STEP paper and then get A*A*A would they take me?

I know someone who was predicted ACC and applied for an AAA course and got an offer of AAA

What course was this for may I ask?

If you explain to them that your taking the STEP paper then I think that they might give you an offer of A*AA, but you'll also have to get a certain grade in the STEP paper as part of the offer

Computer Science

I'm not planning on taking a STEP paper. That's the thing you see, if I apply as an A*AA candidate they would ask me to have STEP right? So if I ignore STEP (which they wouldn't know as their offer would include STEP) and then end up getting A*A*A would they offer me?

If you said you weren't taking STEP then they may give you an offer of A*A*A. You would probably have a better chance of getting an offer if you take STEP, but its up to you.

You'll still be in a chance of a place without STEP though.

Was this for UCL?
