Aston Optometry Clearing

my firm offer for university is aston or optometry requiring AAB in math biology and chemistry. i feel like i didn't do well in my exams and lowest case scenario could be BCC, i was wondering if optometry offers clearing at aston and how lenient they are. ive heard from students who are currently studying there that they got in with similar grades, i was wondering whether that is still the case this year.

ohh same i just got one B, the grade boundaries did us dirty this time. i was asking cux im interested in optometry as well. i got into Leicester for diagnostic radiography but i really wanna go Birmingham so im thinking of taking a gap year and applying to either optometry at aston or diagnostic radiography at BCU.but before i apply to aston i wanna know how lenient they are with the grades , like i got into bcu and uni of Leicester with 104 points when i needed 120.
im stuck if i should just go Leicester maybe it turns out nice or if i should take a gap year and go Birmingham

aston did used to be very lenient according to my family members who have done courses at aston but honestly hard to predict in recent years because of covid and assessed grades being used for a couple years. btw if uni is important to u, i’d recommend just going to aston its so much better than leicester and bcu

Do you have to do an interview for optometry ? If so how was it? was it in person or online?
