I believe that you need to meet the minimum requirements for AS, which is AAA, or else you will be rejected in the first stages before even getting an interview.


I've never heard of unis having AS requirements, could you name any unis that do this?

Predicted grades of A*A*A will exceed basically any course requirements out there, so an offer from all of your choices is realistic. Given medicine is very competitive, however, the B at AS may deter some unis, as could other parts of your application such as the PS if they are weaker than those of other candidates.

I wasn't able to find any AS Level requirements: only that you should either have 4 total or, if you have less, written confirmation from your school that this is normal.

I'm not sure what you mean by "linear AS results", but while unis do not specify actual AS requirements, they will still look at your grades (alongside prior qualifications such as GCSEs) to compare you with other applicants.

My school offers 4 AS levels, i decided not to pick so i have no reason to give to Manchester which is why i cant apply there. Also my UCAS tariff is only 160, ive seen people apply with 300 tariff because of music qualifications and EPQs
