Most Year 13's have mock exams right now, and the grades gotten from those exams will be used for our UCAS Predicted. Say for example, after mocks, someone ends up with a BBC predicted, and they want to apply for a Uni with AAB or ABB predicted, will the universities be lenient enough to consider these students (bearing in mind that we have missed 6/7 months of education) or might they still reject them?

No - they won't be that lenient ... it's a bit late to be deciding predicted grades ...

For my sixth form, we still haven't done our UCAS Predicted grades, which we will use as our predicted grades for our UCAS application. Our teachers plan to use the grades we get in this exam for the predictions, but we have missed 6/7 months of education (some people missing more due to isolation), so I just assumed some AAB or ABB entry uni's would be at least lenient with students that are predicted BBB or BBC.

How did you miss 6 months? You should have been back in school in June ... has no-one submitted their UCAS yet? What about Oxbridge or Medicine appliccants?

Nope. We were only at school back for exams and some students who were falling behind only came back in. I have received an October predicted but I haven't applied yet as I want to see what I get for mocks and then apply.

Why weren't you back - the Government said you should be? So you do have predictions ... you'll need to get your application in before Jan 15th to get equal consideration.

AAB to BBC is quite a gap. Unis will go based on your predicted grades.
If you have BBC predicted I'd apply for universities that have that as an entry requirement. Maybe pick one that is ABC/BBB or ABB if you have a really strong personal statement and the course isnt too competitive.

Well some schools chose not to open. I have a vulnerable people in my family, so I couldn't risk going back.

It's too big a gap - either apply to lower offer places or apply with grades next year.

were you dead or something? We had a whole ass pandemic. My school for example didn't have any mocks and based it on two exams we did in year 12.

Just to add that aside from the usual small tweaks, my uni has not amended its offer making criteria this cycle.

They should be lenient. At my sixth form I received no lit work during lockdown and sent in an essay that never got marked as the teacher decided on an early retirement! When we came back in September, we had mocks on the second week back which determines our UCAS and our year as a whole have not done very well at all. I know for a fact if i’d have actually been taught the book i was writing about i would have done much better and hope they take into consideration how much we’ve lost out on- they can’t expect our grades to be at the normal standard. I wish we could have done mocks now as everyone would have performed so much better! I don’t think it was fair to make us do them straight away especially when we will be compared to many others who do them later or possibly haven’t done them at all. My UCAS is currently AAAB and i applied to Cambridge. I don’t have a chance!

They won't be lenient, no. They don't really have a reason to be when predictions are inevitably going to be hugely inflated this year.

OP, it is hard to say. Some universities like Birmingham have reduced all course offers by one grade (doesn’t include med and health subjects) but in your position it would be best to ring up those universities that you have chosen and ask about this. It’s worth trying and I believe some will be lenient 
good luck!
good luck!
