GCSE: 10A*s

AS: AAA in Maths,Geography and French (Economics is linear course so no AS)
Maths UMS 93

A2 predicted A*A*A + a in AS further maths

*note I'm only doing Further Maths to AS as picking up in year 13

Any thoughts?
Thanks

Bristol isn't Oxbridge, with 10A*s and AAA your pretty much looking at an offer if you can get your personal statement up to scratch. Even with those grades if your PS is lacking you may not get an offer. Nevertheless, your grades shouldn't be of any worry, people get in with far less and your easily ahead of the standard entry requirements.

They require A*AA, and you're predicted higher with very good GCSEs - obviously nothing is 100%, but I think you have a pretty strong case!

Do you mean by the overall grades or specifically GCSEs/AS/Predictions?

Just remember that other people also apply to Bristol with grades higher than the minimum required - not just you.

Unless your PS is good enough, it wont matter how good your predictions are.
Have you also looked at courses beyond just single honours 'Economics' - http://www.sussex.ac.uk/study/ug/2016/search?q=economics
Just be warned that lots of people with fantastic grades still get rejected by Bristol. Just focus on your PS now, and if it's good I don't see why you shouldn't get an offer.
