I got 4 As - Maths, Psychology, English Literature and Law, and got an offer for Law.

What did you get? And in what subjects? If you're resitting, then you can put your AS grades as "pending", and try and get predicted As. What are the entrance requirements for maths?

They are good grades! And your grades meet the entry requirements anyway!! If you apply with those grades, and try to get predicted all As (persuade your teachers you'll put in loads more work, do all homework, loads of revision and that you know you can do it), then you'll definitely have a good shot at getting an offer!

They are also all great subjects, and very suited for maths. I think the fact that you have history as well is good, because a lot of maths students focus on just the maths/science subjects, so you're showing you have a range of academic strengths.

Definitely go for it! Good luck :smile:

I got AAAAA, no resits. but your results are good, you definately have a shot so apply, it is a really lovely university and from what I have seen they are very flexible with their offers

If you really want to go, and you don't apply, you'll definitely not get in. Always go for what you want (within reason, of course!)

My offer for kings for Mathematics (G103 4 yr) was ABB.
I did Maths, further maths and physics and yes your offer does reduce by one grade if you have further maths.

In the end I got AAC and a merit in AEA Mathematics (something extra I did) and I got in. My AAC was equivelant to the offer of ABB.

If your not doing further maths then your offer will be AAB. I suggest you take AEA mathematics as it can do no harm, its an extension like step and it only requires c1-c4 knowledge. It could help convince the admissions tutor if you do miss your offer by one grade.

Just to give you some hope:
I was in your same situation this time last year with disappointing grades, BBBCD, looking to apply for Law at King's (requiring AAAb)

I went ahead

Got my offer

Worked hard

Achieved AAAB

And was awarded my place
:rolleyes:

I would worry more about your predicted grades from your teachers than your AS grades. Make sure they meet your course requirements whatever they may be..

I don't know, what would you want to study? For law my offer was AAAb, however I think my mate had an offer for ABB, but I can't remember what the course was...something to do with human geography.

I got AAAA in English lit, French, Maths and History and got in for law. I had AAAB at AS. Your AS grades are good and if King's ask for ABB for maths i don't see why you'd have a problem. You might want to just do three A2s though to save some stress!

what did you get in your As?
