Can I go to uni with these AS grades?

Basically I got BCC but I'm 2UMS of a B so it could go to BBC. Is university possible? Also what predicted grades would I be likely to get?

i got the same as you in as , i got a*a*b and im going to kcl. if you get predicted abb , you should be able to apply to most of the top unis

Wow, well done!! Did you retake any units and also if you don't mind me asking what were your predicted grades when you applied?

Yes of course you can! What degree are you thinking of? Plenty of unis ask for grade Bs.

At my school we'd predict BBC but you need to talk to your teachers. There is no point in high predictions you won't make.

my teachers predicted me ABB , however the universities i applied for offered me AAB .I repeated unit 1 biology , unit 1 chemistry and unit 1&2 economics .However i didn't really revise for these until the last month (its easy to do well in as' when your doing A2s , as its all connected ).BTW don't worry , universities don't look at AS grades.


what subjects did you take if you don't mind me asking ?

English literature, business studies and modern history wbu?

Your school dont predict a grade higher?

What's your desired course and uni to study it in? You could study the same course a top uni offers in a mid range uni if your grades don't satisfy the top unis.

No, A2s are harder so if you don't get a grade at AS you are unlikely to do better! We would go up a grade if you are a few UMS below. If you've seen the research then you'll know many teachers over predict - what's the point?

We're very accurate and unis do know that. Schools that over-predict are well-know to uni departments!

Well Muttley79 and the others behind this reasoning, i think youre deluded. Able students generally do and perform better. It's like saying an A at AS cannot become an A* at A2 when even theoretically a C at AS can become an A* at A2.


Muttley79, were you referring to achieving a grade higher WITHOUT resits? Resittiing C1 C2 whilst doing C3 C4 pretty much guarantes you'll do well at AS..

I want to do law at Southampton.

Hmmmm, the typical offer is AAA though. (the AAB is more for students with extenuating circumstances. I read on another thread that in grade ranges, the lower grades are for people who are disabled or have extenuating circumstances. I'm assuming you fit in none of those categories.)

Usually, predictions more than 1 grade above your AS levels aren't taken to be accurate or possible.
Of course, there have been cases where someone with horrid AS grades did brilliantly overall in their A levels but that would be a minority.

Of course, you could apply and hope for a conditional offer and do really well in your A2s and get into Southampton.

I did have some ill health this year due to which I missed about 3 weeks of college. Do you think it would be realistic to get an offer?
