Aston - optometry

ive seen somewhere where the predicted grades for optometry should be aab minimum and that aston goes down to bbb for the actual alevel grades, is this true?

but i need to know like whether if there even is a point of me applying, if the grades that they require are still high for the actual alevel results day

possibly - I know someone got got in with abc last year - check contextual offers asw
don't be put off by trolls on tsr I think it's worth applying if you have any predicted grades which are a c and above and you can work on actually getting it afterwards

The grades they require for results day is AAA - what is stated in your offer. You cant rely on luck.

It is luck. If they ask for AAA then they want AAA and only go lower if they dont fill up enough spaces. They will probably on average have under 10 spaces to fill up each year and who knows they might not have any spaces to fill up this year and so will only accept students that have acheived their offer.

probably isn't good enough and not enough to discourage someone for applying for a particular course if there is not enough solid evidence
I suggest they email the admissions team to ask for their stats before you put your two cents in
