Can I get in to a Russell group university?

my brother got into Leicester with A*CC, pretty much what you got! What subjects do you have at a level and what subject do you want to do at uni? I'd say if you have the A in the related subject, you should be fine.

Honestly getting into a Russell group uni is so easy, people make it out to be much harder than it is, BBB+ and you're in seriously. If you're not too picky about the course that is. With ACC you can definitely get it in if your A was in a good subject like Maths or a science.

What do you mean by being too picky about the course?

Why care about the "RG" status? It's based on something that you won't be interested at this stage - research - and there are non-RG unis with reputations and employer prospects (what I imagine you also may be considering) at a similar level with the lowest RG ones.

Obviously, A/A* students may apply to such unis based on the fact that they tend to correlate with the overarching trend of higher satisfaction/quality of the course/job prospects, but since you're evidently on (if not below) the borderline for such unis, why bother looking at their research rating at all?

If you want a pure subject, something broad or competitive, like a science, maths, engineering, law, economics, it's harder. But there are slightly more obscure course that surprisingly drop their grades massively. Even more so during clearing. Just take a look around and you'll see what I mean

Well I actually want to study something along the lines of International relations, languages and History, probably a combined course. Where can I look around for this though?

From what I've read on TSR... no, they don't.

What a load of rubbish. Of course it matters where you get your degree from, just like it matters what your degree is in.

Just take a look at different universities. Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Exeter come to mind immediately.

So are they the ones that can consider lower grades in clearing?

There are plenty that will and do, like I said, those are the few that come to mind, there are others I'm sure.

I see, ok well anyway thank you for your help

Are you suggesting this from personal experience?

Nope, I just no life'd university prospectuses back when I was applying lol, such a waste of time, I still probably know half the entry requirements for Warwick Good luck.

Ahhh ok, thank you, so where did you go and what did you study?

Warwick, Mech Eng

Oh cool, so did you get an offer or did you get in through clearing?

Offer, not sure if you're trolling at this point since I've already mentioned that a few posts earlier...

Well anyway thank you for all your help!

My A level grades are ACC, I know for Russell group universities you should have ABB but one of my C grades was so close to a B, with such grades is there any chance of me getting in at all?

Thank you
