Likely to get offers?

Hello,

Firstly your grades are strong, so that's a good start.

I think that you could potentially get offers that are ABB as you are only one grade below the entry requirements.

Generally the rules is that you should apply to universities one grade BELOW (BBC), EQUAL (BBB) and one above (ABB). Anything higher than one grade above (AAB) you are unlikely to be offered a place unless you have a very strong Personal Statement and References.

This principle is particularly true of History (even more so at the institutions you've listed) due to the popularity of the course.

GOOD LUCK!

Applying for history course got BBCC as grades and predicted only predicted BBB,feel I will achieve above that however. Chances of getting any offers form kcl, east anglia, reading, royal holloway and Southampton? Any previous experiences stories? Entry requirements are AAA, AAB, ABB, ABB, ABB

Too many 'high' choices. With those AS grades and those predictions you wont get offers from anywhere asking above ABB, and even ABB is a stretch. History is VERY competitive and top Unis like these will have no problem filling places - they don't need to be 'kind' to anyone well below the required grades.

You might get an offer for ABB - buts thats what the offer will be, ABB. So if you don't think you can actually get that an application is a total waste of time. You need at least 2 BBB choices or below to have any chance of having enough offers to make a realistic Firm and Insurance choice. With the choices you've got you risk 5 straight rejections.
