Is it bad to be predicted 4A*'s at A2?

My teachers have predicted me this, but I've heard that unis often will give you an offer requiring higher grades than they state on their wesbite, as they don't want to be the insurance offer but the main.

Does this mean that my insurance choice of AAB could make the grades that I need higher in order to get in?

Thanks.

I was predicted A*A*A*A*A (though one of the A*s was Welsh Bacc which I dropped lol) and I got the standard offers from all my universities. They could make the grades higher but they probably won't.

That's reassuring thanks, which ones did you apply to?

lol I realise I just lied accidentally as Cambridge didn't give me an offer but the ones that did were Warwick, Bristol, Exeter and Bath.

Your predicted grades should be realistic - as long as you think they're sensible, you will be fine. I know that Imperial is quite fond of deviating from the standard offer for people but how exactly they decide on their offer grades is a mystery. Most places will just give you the standard offer though, I don't think it's very likely that a university with a standard offer of AAB would artificially raise it for you with a 4A* prediction, I applied to 3 AAB/ABB universities with that prediction and none of them inflated their offer.

I think they're realistic, I should get at least A*AA hopefully which is my highest grade required. Do you know if Nottingham and Birmingham tend to inflate their offer?

I'm also applying for Bristol. How long did it take for then to give you an offer after sending off your UCAS? I want to know how long I'll realistically be waiting to hear from them to find out.

I applied probably in early October, probably around this time last year, and got an offer on 22nd October I think. It depends on the course though.

I think most students would kill for those predicted grades haha

Haha I'm really pleased thanks, it's a lot of pressure though!

Which course was that?

If you do arts subjects, that's super impressive

Maths. I had a friend who applied for Engineering and hadn't got an offer by like January.

I do as it so happen, thanks I was always under the impression that it's much harder to gain A*'s in maths and science subjects.
