What should I tell her?

So A-level results day have just finished I thankfully achieved the grades I wanted which was ABBB, but my friend however didn't. She was predicted AABB but unfortunately she only achieved DDDE!
I literally don't know what happened to her and feel really sad. But the reason i'm here is to ask for your advice because she keeps asking me whether there is any point even bothering with her UCAS (personal statement) as she was aiming for a Russell group university but obviously didn't get the grades, and I don't know what to tell her...

Are her subjects linear, or are they modular? She really needs to find out her predicted grades before deciding anything. She needs to drop the E and carry on with the 3 Ds. My sister was in the same position 5 years back she managed to get AAB, but was only predicted CCC so she had to go through clearing.
