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

Will unis let you drop a grade in an unrelated subject?

I'm hoping to study mechanical engineering and my offer is BBB. I think I will get B in both maths and physics but might get a C in history, will the university let me in?

it depends on what all the other applicants get, no one can tell you if they will or not, mechanical engineering is also quite popular so might not accept people with lower grades than entry requirements

Quite probably yes, I can't imagine the uni will be stringent on grades if they want BBB for Mechanical Engineering.

You should just ask the university in case there's a chance they want it. Not because it's relevant but because their original offer was given on you having a certain number of A levels.
