Hardest conditional you've heard of?

Ape Gone Insane

AAAAAAA (Higher) + AA (Adv Higher)

Were they applying to skip the first five years of a Masters or something? :p:

Hardest offer I've heard of is the one I was given myself for second year entry to Informatics at Edinburgh Uni. AAA at Advanced Higher and to include Computing and Maths.

There can be harder offers though I'm pretty sure. You're not going to get anything steeper than AAA at AH, but for a Scottish student applying to Oxbridge or such places you might have STEP conditions to meet as well, which adds quite a bit extra pressure.

A*(Maths) A*(usually F Maths or Physics) A (something else)

I was going to say the unbelievers but before i knew of that one it was my friends AAAA at AH for physics at cambridge, plus they defered him so he had to take a gap year. he had AAAAAA at higher, with only one of them being an A2

he got it though

Just for the record, St. As aren't that cruel! Meteorshower complained of the lack of pressure associated with an unconditional, so I offered to buy him a beverage if he made those grades. :p:

My conditional for French at Glasgow was BBB at Advanced Higher. Bit harsh, considering i got BBBC at Higher, which isn't that bad nor good, but also that my other offers for Philosophy and French were unconditional (Stirling), B at advanced english (Edinburgh) and a advanced C in any subject (Dundee and Aberdeen). Not as hard as AAAAA at AH for Oxford or wherever, but Glasgow isn't exactly Oxford.

I didn't really want to go to Glasgow in the first place, but that made them seem like ***** to me.
