How will AAB Distinction affect A*AA offer

I am looking to apply to Compsci at Durham which needs A*AA but its very competitive

GCSE:
five grade 9s
two grade 8s
one grade 7
one A*

AS:
Maths - A
Physics - A
Further Maths - B
Computing - Distinction

Will the B affect my chances on my UCAS application or are my gcse grades good enough to get an offer?

AS is not everything, there’s also the personal statement as well. I’m not sure about AS, but our school goes off predicted grades instead of doing an official AS. So if it’s possible, ask your teachers to increase your predicted grades and write glowing recommendations on your ucas. You can also call the university and ask for their opinion

My predicted grades won't be the same as the AS grades (AS doesn't even have an A* grade), but I'm just wondering if not having the full 3 As on the UCAS application will have a meaningful affect.

In general, actual achieved grades are seen as a more reliable prediction of how you'll do at A2, compared to predicted grades (obviously A* predictions are a bit different).

The B will have an effect, but it won't be the end of the world, and having 2 As at AS and strong GCSEs will work in your favour.

Do you have to put AS on your UCAS application even though it no longer forms part of your final grade?
