University of Birmingham school sixth form

So I recently applied for UoBschool sixthform and i wanted to get some advice from people who attend or used to attend the sixth form.
1. Is UoBschool sixth form really a good sixth form and how is/was your honest experience?
2. What grades were you predicted for GCSE to help you get a conditional offer?
3. What did you get for GCSE to help you get into the sixth form?
4. Any advice to give to me to help me get into the sixth form?
If there is anything else you feel you want to tell me about UoBsixthform please do, it’ll mean alot!

Thanks for the response, but what do you think the average grades are for getting a conditional offer? Also what courses did you pick with uob? And did any of them have over subscription?

I think the average grade is probably around 7. I picked Physics, Maths and sociology but I didn’t end up going there. It’s mainly sciences that are oversubscribed but I think maths was oversubscribed as its a popular subject. I currently go to a different sixth form. Btw what other schools are u applying for??
