Can I get in to a Russell group university?

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

Yes just smash your A2's and you can go through on adjustment

Are these your overall A-Level grades? Then it's unlikely as you aren't fulfilling the course reqs unless you're retaking anything in which case definitely go for it! If they're AS then as long as you have the required predicted grades, you stand a chance.

Also check to make sure that it IS ABB, as I've seen some courses at AAB or AAA.

and bear in mind that going to an RG uni isn't everything - all it means is that they're research-intensive, nothing else. Doesn't necessarily mean you'll be better off there or you'll get a better job from it.

The thing is these are my A2's!

Yes these are my final grades and I already did two exam retakes, I think some arw ABB but quite a lot are AAB.

Also I'm in now way saying other universities are bad, but employers do take into account where you got your degree from don't they?

Very risky then IMO Maybe you could try one but it's unlikely, just make sure you have other solid choices. Which ones are you thinking of, and for what course?

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

Cambridge v UEL (Massive difference in the degree value)

Queen Mary vs Exeter (Not really a difference)

It depends on the RG University OP is applying to.

They tend to be below what russell group Uni's ask for but it depends on the course and subscription. I'd say apply to 1 or 2 and see what happens or you can try when clearing opens

Obviously Oxbridge is an exception.

Probably, to be perfectly honest. Perhaps not a very competitive course at a not-so-competitive university, though.

Ok, so the courses I would like to do are in the subject area of international relations, languages and history.

I looked into Oxford Brookes, is that uni good?

Imperial, LSE, UCL, Warwick, Durham..

Not on league tables, no, but I've visited the university and am familiar with Oxford. The uni itself was lovely, it's even won architecture awards from what I was told. Oxford's a great city too - I have social anxiety and it wasn't triggered as there aren't too many crowds but you do't feel secluded either. Plus the train links are great Don't go by league tables, they don't mean anything if you're going to spend 3 years at a university being miserable.

I've applied for Politics related courses

I see, ok, it sounds very good
Just out of interest what universities did you apply for?
