Depends on how competitive the course is.
ABC and AAC would usually be ok.

The course im interested in asks for ABB-BBB. I think I should be able to get ABB, but there's a chance I might get ABC, or maybe even AAC. Would the C ruin it, even if its in an unrelated subject?
Nobody can give any guarantee and it will depend on the subject but usually Cardiff will accept you with those grades.

Often Universities will still take you if you miss a grade and they still have space, but of course there are no guarantees.
So, get the offer - work your butt off, and get those grades. Cardiff is worth it.

thank you, that's very motivational
Ask them - they should able to give you an idea! When my son did his UCAS form earlier this year, I called up the departments saying that their grade requirements may be a bit "of a scretch" and would my son be wasting a choice by putting that course/ uni as one of hos 5 choices. They know what grades they went to over the previous couple of years/ what was in clearing and may be able to steer you accordingly.
One very helpful admissions tutor advised along line of ..." oviously we can't guarantee, but in the last 2 years you would have got in with Grades XXX " My son's predicted grades were lower than all of the AAB/ ABB unis that he applied for and he got 4 offers. All were are the advertised requirement, but at least it gave him something to work for.
He didn't get his firm but traded up from his insurance in clearing and is off to Cardiff in the week.
Next year could be a bit different but possible not as many deferrals as originally anticipated.
Obviously this strategy is less likely to apply to any heavily oversubscribed courses so will vary for subject to subject.

I just wondered how you did this year, as you mentioned you were in your final year?
I need AAB, I already have an A so waiting for my other results to get in. I reckon I'll end up with AA*D/ AAD/ AAE tho, due to how my exams went in maths.

There is a possibility but more than a 2 grade drop is highly unlikely. Nobody knows as it will depend on how many others meet their offers and that wont be known until results. I think it would be a good idea to research other universities in case you are rejected.

As swanseajack1 has said, it's very hard to say whether you will or won't get in, as its up to the admissions team. I suggest just working really hard for the exams, and seeing what happens. Remember, you got those predicted grades and the offer for a reason!
