How likely are Cardiff or Liverpool to give me an offer?
Hoping to study biomedical science, entry requirements ABB.
My predicted grades are ABBCC, most importantly A in biology, B in psychology and C in chemistry.
I have a lot of extenuating circumstances and likely good references. Just stuck between which is more likely, Cardiff or Liverpool, sending off my application next week

Even if it's a high offer! My predicted grades don't reflect me very well. I'm returning to chemistry after a year off, so I'm rusty and my teacher doesn't know me the best (went to another school before). I know I can do better than a C.
I just want to know how likely it is to get an offer at all, even if it's high!

Nobody but the universities themselves can tell you this. Universities sometimes make offers slightly below but that is dependent on numbers likely to reach their grades. Unless you are entitled to a contextual offer you will be made the standard offer.
How do you have 5 predicted grades. If you taking 5 subjects drop 2 and concentrate on achieving your best results in 3,

One of the Bs is Welsh Bacc, which I'm not allowed to drop. I already have a B in biology, I'm just resitting it and very likely to get an A.
Really, I'm only doing 3 (psychology, chemistry, english) with Welsh Bacc coursework. I love biology so much that I know the content very well, so I won't need much to get the A. I nearly did for this year's exams, but had an awful infection which impaired me enough to just about miss it 😭
** I was predicted an A in psychology too, but a test last week didn't go the best so I wouldn't be surprised if my teacher bumped me down for that next week.

Welsh Bac is not accepted everywhere. It will be accepted for Cardiff as it is for all Welsh universities. Some English universities dont accept it although from memory I think Liverpool does. You may need to take Chemistry. Check that out. If you dont concentrate on just getting the grades. I met a student once in Swansea who had taken 4 A levels and the BTEC and she ended up missing her offer because of it. You need to concentrate on doing what is right for yourself and not just taking the Welsh Bac to make your schools result look good. Do whatever it takes to get into your chosen universities.
I have just checked the entry requirements and both accept the Welsh Bac. Liverpool requires both Chemistry and Biology. Cardiff only requires 1 so Cardiff will be easier for you to get into with your C in Chem.

I've tried to make Welsh Bacc relevant for biomed, doing my independent project on AI in cancer screening. I've made sure to mention this in PS with some context, so I don't really want to throw away all my work on that. Liverpool does say it accepts Welsh Bacc. at a B apparently?
Because I'm sending the application off next week that's sort of where things stand. I can understand dropping English but it's too late for that now. Hopefully my psychology teacher will still predict me an A, I just haven't had the chance to ask her yet so I'm assuming the worse. Predicted grades aren't that formal in my college and they change them pretty easily. I wish I sent off my application before that test 😭

Oh okay! Thank you that does narrow it down a lot, I didn't notice that when I checked.

It is not too late to drop a subject. Do it BEFORE your ucas goes off. Once it goes off then you need a universities agreement as you are changing your contract with them. Taking 4 A levels is nutty. Even more adding the Welsh Bac in Concentrate on what is needed to achieve ABB not doing what your school wants. They do this because the Welsh Bac gives you UCAS points and makes their figures look good. If you miss your grades it is you who will suffer not the school and we loads of students on here who have taken 4 A levels and missed their grades so didnt get into their chosen university. Universities look at quality not quantity and make offers on 3 subjects not 5. Taking 5 doesnt impress them.
Here we take a look at the changes and which of the 24 Russell Group universities accept the Welsh Baccalaureate as equivalent to A levels for their offers.
[start]Oxford University[/start]
[start]No[/start]
[start]Oxford says on its website: “The university is aware that framework for the Advanced Welsh Baccalaureate has now been withdrawn, but that students are still able to take the Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate as a standalone qualification.[/start]
[start]“The university recognises that this qualification will provide students with the opportunity to develop research and academic skills relevant for study at Oxford, particularly through the independent research project, and applicants are encouraged to draw upon their experiences when writing the personal statement. However, the Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate will not form the basis of any offers, and conditional offers are likely to range between AAA and AAA at A-level, depending on the course.”[/start]
[start]Cambridge University[/start]
[start]Not usually[/start]
[start]Cambridge says on its website: “If you are taking the Advanced Welsh Baccalaureate, any offer we make you would be conditional on three A Level subjects studied as options for the Advanced Diploma.[/start]
[start]“We may take The Skills Challenge into consideration when we assess your application. But we wouldn’t normally include it as part of an offer.”[/start]
[start]Imperial College London[/start]

[start]London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)[/start]
[start]No[/start]
[start]The university said: “Applicants taking the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Diploma are expected to have studied three subjects to A level and we would typically make an offer based on three A level grades (excluding the Welsh Baccalaureate qualification).[/start]
[start]“If you have only been able to take two A levels alongside the Welsh Baccalaureate because of school/college restrictions, we would consider making an offer based on two A levels and the Welsh Baccalaureate in place of the third A-level.[/start]
[start]“The Welsh Baccalaureate is regarded as a non-preferred subject and we would expect two generally preferred subjects at A level (see above). Supporting evidence regarding your school’s policy on A levels and the Welsh Baccalaureate would be required and should be provided in the reference.[/start]
[start]Queen Mary University of London[/start]
[start]Not for law or some other courses. Applicants are advised to check.[/start]

[start]“Please note our School of Law will not include the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate in the conditions of any offers of study.

Offers will include both the three A Level version and the two A Level plus Advanced Skills Baccalaureate alternative.[/start]
