How tightly will my offers be based on my AS results?

At worst my AS results could reasonably be AABC (blame a lack of revision up to now). I'm dropping the C and taking the other three next year. Would I be in with a chance of getting offers of A*AA or AAA based on AAB at A level?
Cheers.

Quite possibly, depending on your GCSE's, AS subjects and university course choices. What are they? (Although try to get them up to AAAC or AABB, there's still quite a bit of time).

It is possible. Obviously try your best, but if you can't get higher than that then don't hesitate to apply for A*AA courses, if your application is strong otherwise. You probably will need your predictions to match the asking grade though. :smile:

I'm hoping to apply for economics.
My AS's are Politics (easy A), Law (easy A), Economics (challenging A) and History (Somewhere between A and C, God only knows). My GCSE's varied, A*AAABBBCC and erm, a G...
I am taking AS maths next year as well as A2 Law, Politics and Economics, and I'm chasing a few that are A*AA or AAA, and then Loughborough (AAB).
Don't suppose you happen to know if I need to mention my G?

Yes, you do need to mention your G, but it won't make much of a difference (unless it is in an important subject like history (for you) or maths). Those are good A-level choices for some economics courses, but for more mathematical courses you probably need A2 maths, so research carefully. I think applying to 2 or 3 courses that require A*AA - AAA, and 2 or 3 that require AAB - ABB is a good idea.
