The "Are my grades good enough for Maths..." Thread

I got AAAA at AS-Level, so its safe to say my grades are good enough, I've just gotta make sure that I can maintain that. But what I want to ask here, is whether my module grades are good enough for the top universities.
I did maths and further maths. Here are my module results:
MPC1 - 81/100 ; MPC2 - 100/100 ; MS01 - 74/100
MFP1 - 77/100 ; MD01 - 91/100 ; MD02 - 76/100
I averaged an A in both qualifications, but half of my modules were Bs. Do I stand a good chance of getting into a highly ranked university for maths? Eg: Oxbridge, Warwick, any in the Russell Group etc? Or will they look down upon me for the Bs?
Thanks.

Just like to say Well Done for those results! Can't give you any advice though as I have no clue!
All the best!

B in French AS and B in RS A2, really disappointed Which is why I have decided to forget Oxford too. What would my chances at the likes of UCL, Kings, Nottingham and Birmingham be?

Probably not worth trying for Cambridge purely because of the module scores. They look for modules in the 'high 90s' and really you've only got one of those. You don't have to declare your individual modules in any situation, if you don't want to, so universities don't need to find out about the module scores; however UCL and Durham would ask for them separately.

Warwick have a policy of giving out a standard offer to most applicants with sufficient predicted grades, so you'll be fine there. As for other universities, I think Noble sums it up pretty well.

Ok thanks. So would Oxford be more lenient on the module scores? I was drawn to Cambridge out of the two because Oxford ask for an A* in further maths and that won't be easy. But I guess the fact Cambrdige requires STEP means that the difficulty of getting into both is roughly equal, and if Oxford are more accepting of my module scores I'd be happy to enter there, as an instituion I've always prefered it.Though from what I hear Oxford are more critical of GCSEs. I didn't do any language so will that count against me?
As for declaring the modules, would it count against me if I choose not to declare them on my UCAS form? Would any university assume I have something to hide?

Fair enough.

UCL: They'll want to see your module marks for maths. The 100% in C1 will impress them and C2/S1 look ok so hopefully they should be able to determine that you're capable of meeting the offer. You'll need to make sure you have a good personal statement etc as there is competition for places. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/math/undergraduates/prospective_undergrad/admission_req.htm

KCL: They want AAA so you should be capable of that. http://www.kcl.ac.uk/prospectus/undergraduate/entryrequirements/name/mathematics/alpha/MNO/header_search/

Nottingham: They want AAA/AAB so that'll be even easier. http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/mathematics/prospective/undergraduate/courses/g100-g103.aspx

Birmingham: Similar to above. http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/students/courses/undergraduate/maths/mathematics.aspx

Basically, with your predicted grades and the fact that you'll be doing further maths, you should be able to get offers for at least most of these places as long as your application is generally good.

Ok that's good to hear. I've heard from people Warwick is harder to get into than Oxbridge, I've never believed that and if they make standard offers then that can't be true. But I guess the fact that you have to take STEP is what makes it challenging to get in there.

Historically it was harder to get an offer from Oxford, but harder to make the Cambridge offer. Previously, Oxford only asked for AAA, so practically anyone who got an offer got in, whereas a good chunk of Cambridge offer holders get rejected, however, with the new A-Level requirement from Oxford, this may change slightly. Oxford really don't care about GCSEs for Maths, as they have the MAT and rely on it quite heavily, my GCSEs are far below what most applicants will have for Oxford, although I did go to a pretty terrible secondary school and they do take it into account. I don't know whether universities read into whether people decide to declare modules or not, but a general rule of thumb is to not declare them if there's remotely any reason they'd put you at a disadvantage and with Bs it's possible they won't be too confident in your A/A* predictions, as generally if someone has half their AS levels at B-grade, you'd expect at least half of their A2 modules to be at a B as well (due to the increased difficulty).

Yeah, STEP is the main thing that makes Warwick's offer hard. Although, Cambridge would ask for higher STEP grades (and require two papers) than Warwick so I would still say that Cambridge is harder to get into. As for Oxford, it's hard to compare it in terms of competition to Warwick.

I want to study Mathematics at university, I got aabb for my as grades. Here are the module results

Maths and further maths: AA
C1 - 100 A
C2 - 92 A
S1 - 96 A
M1 - 87 A
S2 - 72 ( resitting) B
Fp1 - 88 A

Chemistry - B
Unit one - 90 /100 A
Unit two - 99/120 B ( resitting)

Economics B (dropping)

What do you thhink my predicted grades would be? Because I'm confused about which entry require I would/ wouldn't meet.

I'm think of these universities: Warwick, durham, nottingham, kings college and queen mary

Any opinions? Could I aim higher?

Predicted grades: For maths, it would most likely be A*. For further maths, it's not so clear cut since there are some modules you didn't do so well on. However you do have several marks close to 90% so you'll probably also have another A* there, or maybe an A. In chemistry unit 2, 99/120 is 82.5% (A) by my calculations. So I'm not sure what's happening there. In any case, you'll probably get either B or A, depending on your actual UMS marks and maybe also on classwork/homework marks.

I haven't got time tonight to go through the requirements of all of those universities. Look on their websites for their typical offers. As for 'aiming higher', I presume you're thinking of Cambridge. You could consider it, but the problem is that even if you are predicted an A in chemistry, they would see the UMS marks and getting a b at AS would look quite bad. So I think you would struggle to get an offer.

Thanks sorry the chemistry was out of 140 so that's 70 %
I was thinking more oxford, but their entry requitements are A*A* A and they don't look so hard on ums
