Can I get offer from uni of notts with BBB for an ABB course?

self explanatory. Also if I am unable to get an offer, but later achieve ABB on results day, can I still apply for the uni of notts' course? or is it that if I don't get the offer, I don't have a chance of getting into the course at UoN

It is very unlikely a university will accept you after rejecting you although not impossible. Universities make many times more offers than places because they know many dont take up the offer. In a normal year most universities and courses would make an offer to someone 1 grade below but following last years grade inflation it is difficult to tell what will happen this year.

Certainly, you can apply since you are only 1 grade off the standard offer. Its a bit of a gamble to wait for results day to see if you achieve ABB and then apply since the course may be full so you may be asked to defer to next year.

Oh okay, so would you say they may still accept a couple grades lower due to the situation most students are in?

Nobody can really tell whether universities will accept students 1 or 2 grades below. I suspect 2 grades below for Nottingham is unlikely.

As for the situation most students are in the truth is most students over the last 2 years have been hugely advantaged over those in previous years. Whilst there has undoubtedly been disruption the lax marking has been totally different to anything that has happened in 2019 and earlier. Last year 23% of students were awarded the A* grade. In earlier years 8% or less got the A* grade. This caused major problems for leading universities who then had more students than they had room for. Some deferred to this year.

Nobody knows how strict the marking will be this year and whether there will end uo being exams or teacher assessed grades. All this makes it impossible to know what will happen this year.

I achieved my grades of ABB last year and applied for an AAB course and got an offer fairly quickly. Bit of a gamble but always worth a shot.

Okay, that's good to hear! I just recently got my predicted grades up to ABB, so I feel safer applying now lol. Also, you managed to get into an AAB course with ABB grades, do unis accept people into their course with one grade below, if so thats great lol. Or were you just purely talking about offers?

I got my grades and am applying for university 2022/23, so my offers are unconditional as I've got my grades. I got unconditional from Notts for Politics and IR which is an AAB course, but I've got in with ABB. Mind you I do apply for contextual offers.
