A level offers
Why are some people offered AAA at A level at Oxford and others offered AAB?

why the hell d'you think?
poor question

i thought it would be largely due to competition?
or perhaps the relevance of a larger number of A-level subjects i.e. in those where you can't study the subject at A-level, such as Medicine, so they want you to have at least 3A grades because more than one subject in directly relevant (Biology, Chemistry then the other science or art you did) whereas with Art subjects - history/english etc. you can study them at A level..so as long as you get an A in those your other subjects are less relevant?
just a theory.

That depends.... the admission tutor at Q ueens collage, Cambridge, told us that the offer would be AAA, never higher than that, unless it's maths were they ask for STEP results as well.
They might well specify subjects if you're doing more than 3 A-levels, though, so you might not get any flexibility if you're looking for it.

Why are some people offered AAA at A level at Oxford and others offered AAB?
because admissions tutors prefer some candidates to others? also some colleges have a policy of given out easier offers; st anne's, for instance, have a tradition of given out AAB offers.

umm...depends on the college
Peterhouse cambridge only give out AAB offers
Christ's, cambridge often give out AAA + AEA distinction

...but then they also give out a fair amount of EE offers.
