What's the typical offer for the course? Your AS levels seem quite low compared to a typical Durham applicant.

I got AABE and got an offer for Biological Anthropology. I was worried about my E affecting my chances and so I emailed the department who told me they don't look at AS grades, only A2 predictions, so as long as your predicted grades meet the requirements and you have a good personal statement, you should be fine
Biological Anthropology is ABB

it is a low entry requirement for Durham, mostly because it's a very specialist degree which obviously isn't competitive! Thank you

Your predictions seem quite high considering your AS results, although people can and do pull their socks up for A2. You may not get an offer on the basis of your AS results though, so may be looking at applying after you have your results and taking a gap year, depends how competitive bio anth is really.

Do you realistically think that, even if you did get an offer, you could meet it?

Even with a typical offer of ABB, Durham will get many applicants for the course with in excess of that, and with predictions of CCC you will not make the first cut, I'm afraid.

Why can't you get better grades in your AS Levels then?
