Economics ABB offer ?

I actually have a friend who last year got offered BBB for Economics, and then got BBC in the summer, and Bristol accepted her anyway! So it does happen, clearly.

The friend in question was predicted BBB and still got an offer, if that helps. Good luck :smile:

His PS wasn't amazingly amazing - I mean it was good, but not anything out of the ordinary. And his GCSEs were all Bs and Cs.

dam what a lucky sod! I have aaa but in maths bio and chem, and applying post a level. I dont have any humanity subjects and my gcse's suck! (well 5a4b2c's). I have an alright PS and good reference, do you think i stand a chance?

I think the story I just told demonstrates that you have a chance. No one can say for sure who will get a place at any given university. Already having AAA must make your application strong, though.

Hello,

I noticed for Economics (L100) bristol say their standard offer is AAA-ABB. I was just wondering if people actually get offered ABB, as I am considering using this as one of my mid options. However if they typically offer AAA e.t.c then its not worth it for me. So just wondering if anyone has or knows of if people get given ABB Economics offers.

Thanks in advance.

At most unis, single honours courses require 3As and since Bristol is so good for economics, id expect that. I just got an offer for joint honours in economics and politics which tends to be lower at other unis for 3As so id expect 3As. ABB is a long shot.

bristol gave me an AAA offer at first for pure econs, but changed it to unconditional later on. that was in the 07 admissions cycle though.
