How lenient are University of Nottingham with offers on results day?

I'm just seeing this for economics which wants A*AA and is one of UoN's best degrees (they're 4th for econ in completeuniguide) and yet in 2017, 80 people who missed their offer were still accepted - that's nearly a third of the total enrolment

surely for business it'd mean there's more leniency as it doesnt rank as well and isnt as competitive?

It entirely depends on how every other offer holder also does, but yes a one grade miss is often ok.

Should be fine lots of people get in with a miss of one Grade, however... your ABB is likely already a lowered off (saw on another thread) i know one person who squeezed in with BBB (sports affliation also!)but alot of people got alot higher....I would definitely aim for ABB to be safe.

(Study Management) at U of N.

Yeah Management is AAB but I got offered ABB - HOWEVER, I think that's only because my parents didn't go uni and that qualifies me for a contextual offer

Definitely won't get any lower than BBB but there is a slight chance I may get BBB, although ABB is definitely doable

Would really get ABB if i were you... because tbh your chances in clearing for a similar course with BBB will be exceedingly slim.

Management tends to be oversubscribed....rememeber there are 272 places.. they HAVE to take who gets their offer.

I would be super interested in that! do message me when you get it if you can remember!

However, even though management is lower ranked doesnt mean there isnt demand for it, theres tons of people who hate maths but want to do business..

And alot of people who miss economics offers get offered a place in something called industrial economics...

However since management (is at the bottom of the food chain) there wont be any other offer made if its full!

You would be looking at an insurance choice.

yeah i have a friend who has an ABB offer for industrial economics and that's also taught by the business school rather than the economics school

i did ask for stats on industrial econ too in my FOI request
