It depends what you mean by 'fall into'. If you get offers of A*AA or A*AB and achieve AAA you have failed to meet them. While some universities might accept AAA as equivalent to A*AB, others might not.

I'm predicted 3A's and one of the unis I'm applying to has those grades as their requiement in their website. Was meant to be predicted A* dor one of my subjects but that got changed last minute. Is it best to ask the uni if they'll consider my application with 3A's as my predicted grades?

Assuming you apply by the 15th, universities MUST 'consider' your application. With predictions of AAA you are fairly likely to receive an offer (given a decent reference/PS), but if a uni quotes A*AA/A*AB then the lower is often a 'contextual' offer for applicants from poor schools etc. That is not necessarily always the case, however, so the reasonable thing to do is apply, but to recognise that any offer could well be at A*AA and plan your other choices accordingly.

Oh lol I meant if they'll bother looking at my application because AAA might be lower than their requirement. My application is sent off
Other choices want aaa , aab and BBB. Sound good?
My college is one of those that can get contextual offers.
I think ill ring up the uni to find out their contextual offer for my couse. Last I checked it was aab but that was a Hard copy
No, AAA does not fall into A*AA-A*AB. Whilst it is worth the same number of UCAS points as A*AB, you will still have technically failed to meet the entrance requirements and university is fully within their rights to reject you on that basis (and indeed probably would).
