I would say it depends on the course you’re applying for, and how relevant that third subject is. Do you have an insurance you would be happy to go to, and are you okay with not knowing until results day?

He seems to think he can just add and subtract as he likes.

OP that isn't how grades work.

maybe not but if the D grade isn't relevant unis are often flexible if you get the grade equivalent

ABB is equivalent to AAC so he'd only need to bring it up to a C

That's assuming the university works that way.

Just to explain, if the offer is expressed as letter grades then Uni's don't automatically consider equivalencies, eg. A*AB in place of AAA. In that case the offer has not been met and it's at their discretion as to whether they accept them.

To answer the OP's question, yes, it is still worth Firming if this is the Uni you want to go to. They will still consider your final grades even if you are below the offer.

No one can really tell you how likely it is that you will be accepted, even the Uni won't know at this stage if they are going to be wildly oversubscribed with strong results.
