A* in (OCR) MEI mathematics

I'm looking at the UMS for past papers and I can't see the boundaries for the A* grade; it just goes from 'a' to 'max mark' -see link:

Surely A*s are given? Or do MEI or OCR not do A*s because I know that FSMQs don't have A*s, but then that makes me ask a further question - what do I do if the university I want to go to wants an A* in Maths/Further Maths?

If anyone can show me the grade boundaries for A* or reassure me in any way about these, I'd be very grateful :smile:

The A* can't be given for a unit result. It is only awarded as an overall result for a full qualification. You would be awarded A* in MEI maths with a total ums of 480 that includes 180 from c3+4
