I'm going to be applying to university next year with grades A* - Computer Science A - Maths A - Further Maths
Most universities I'm looking at have a requirement of A*AA with the A* in Maths - how rigid do universities tend to be with this, especially as I already have the grades.
I think they'll be pretty lenient this year, but also unis generally don't mind if you're one grade down, particularly if they have spaces on a course. Good luck with your application!

Not having the A* in Maths might cost you your place. Nobody can tell for definite but usually where universities ask for an A* in Maths they stick by it. Have some other options that only have an A requirement. Computer Science in top universities is very Mathematical hence why they ask for high Maths grade. There are some who wont look at your Maths. Lancaster being a prime candidate and I think Exeter look for a B in Maths or used to. Nottingham and Liverpool might be worth looking into as well. Give yourself at least preferably 2 choices where you meet the requirements.

I went to uni at Bristol for a bit and their offer was A*AA with A* in Maths and I didn't get the A* in maths and results day they still let me in so I figured I could probably get lucky, but it's good to know how strict other universities are. Thanks for the advice (:
