Hello to whoever is reading. I got an offer back today for 88 UCAS points even though the entry requirements on their course webpage is 112. I know that this is a good thing however I can't help but think that it's for a negative reason such as no one is choosing this course for a reason I cannot see, the course is financial trading and investment this is a pretty niche course and this is the only university running it. Am I reading into this too much. Thanks in advance

Hey, I wouldn’t worry about it too much unis give reduced offers for loads of reasons, is it possible the offer was contextual? It may be because they saw your personal statement and loved it. Or you might be rights and its because no one is signing up for the course. Either way as long as you like the degree and can see yourself at the uni for 3/4 years then all of that doesn’t matter. Try not to stress over things that could have a million different explanations

Don't worry about it.
'Typical offer' is exactly that and many Uni make lower offers for whole range of reasons.
If that's your offer, that is what you need to meet.

Hey,
I had a question I wanted to ask:
I want to study PPE at King’s College London, The universities standard entry requirements are A*AA with a 7 in GCSE maths.
I hold a 7 in GCSE maths. What I wanted to ask you was If I was to be predicted AAB and if I was to apply to KCL with that, although this does not match there minimum entry requirement, I am eligible for a contextual offer of up to 2 grades because of; the school I attend; the postcode; my household income; and being the first generation to go to university. Along with that, I recently found out that I had been accepted to attending the King’s College London’s Summer School for Law, because of that by attending a widening participation programme of King’s increases my chances of receiving a contextual offer.
What I wanted to ask you was, do I have to be predicted A*AA, AND then would I receive a contextual offer once the university receives my application OR could I apply with AAB (which is already 2 grades taken off the standard requirement) and possibly receive an offer?

May be a contextual offer. Doesn't really matter in the end.

Thank you for your reply. I really love everything about this course, I just can't help but think it's too good to be true xD. my paranoia is due to a combination of things and this sort of just added on top of those things. Do you think that it's a concern if the course doesn't have a professional, statutory and regulatory body, there are no professional accreditations for the course.

Hello to whoever is reading. I got an offer back today for 88 UCAS points even though the entry requirements on their course webpage is 112. I know that this is a good thing however I can't help but think that it's for a negative reason such as no one is choosing this course for a reason I cannot see, the course is financial trading and investment this is a pretty niche course and this is the only university running it. Am I reading into this too much. Thanks in advance

I applied to Nottingham for maths and their standard offer is A*AA but they offered me AAB (now gone down to ABB due to covid) so I wouldn't worry as it just shows they're eager for you to firm them!
