AAB originally and I got the offer, I believe if u go on astons website they outline the requirements for contextual applicants too, contacting the uni is also a good way to see. Maybe also look if they're on clearing

Wait so if you're planning to resit (if you are), it depends on the grade boundaries next year and how many students fall under the ABB requirements for aston and other variables like how many reject aston to go to other unis / how many reject optometry. This year for example my friend did resits for alevels and ended up getting AAC over the 2 sittings and still got into his Uni of Bham Law course which required A*AA. Ultimately uni is a buisness and when they have to fill seats they will and your grades of BCC put you in a pretty good position for ur resits to turn both your C subjects into an A and a B.
