Unconditional offer / conditional offer

May I ask if it is still possible to get an unconditional offer letter if one of ur subject is one grade lower than the condition offer

Do you have actual grades or predicted ones?

If you are still taking your A levels etc, you will get a Conditional offer.
The days of certain Unis throwing U offers like confetti to those still at school are long gone.

If you already have your grades, then obviously you will get an Unconditional offer - as you have no possibility of getting different grades. Will you be considered if those achieved grades dont meet the entry requirements? Possibly - but not for top Unis or for highly competitive subjects. And its very risky - as some Unis/subjects may not consider you at all.

Hi, I got three A for my AS and I’m sitting for my A2 soon, my predicted grades are A* AA but I’m not confident with one of the subject I might drop to B as I got lower A for that subject.

Ok - as noted above you are unlikely to receive unconditional offers.

Most UK undergrad applicants are in the their final year of A-Levels, they apply with predicted grades.

To a greater or lesser extent, unis use those predictions in their offer making. Many unis will make aspirational offers, IE. a grade or more above the predicted grades.

So your predicted grades may, or may not, determine whether you receive a offer.

If you are applying with achieved grades below the standard offer, it is very unlikely that you'll receive an offer.
