Universities with wide range of grade boundaries
Hello
My daughter is in year 12 and has Maths, Physics, Economics & English, she is struggling with Maths, her last report was Maths D Physics B Economics C and English A. Though she has assured me that she will try to get an A or B in Maths, but I am looking for universities which will accept ABB! Please can someone suggest me some Universities? TIA

The highest-ranked uni I know that accepts ABB for STEM courses is York Uni.

What course at uni does your daughter want to do? What sort of places does she prefer ... London/small/campus-based/city-based/etc? What are her thoughts about it all?
Hello
She wants to do Astrophysics ( I don’t have a clue about) we are based in Solihull so looking for nearby (2hrs drive) 🙏🏼

If you go on UCAS and select the course - so Astrophysics and then put in A Level subjects and grades it will bring up a list of Universities. Is getting a tutor an option for her Maths ? They can make a real difference.

Also, has she thought about dropping an A Level to give her more time to focus on getting the 3 best grades she can get? It's striking too that English is her best subject - has she thought about taking a gap year so that she can explore what she wants to do? No point rushing into it, and it's much easier to apply to unis with A Level results in hand.

University of Leicester is one. (AAB-ABB). Remember they are associated with the National Space Centre which is in Leicester. It's only just over a 1 hour drive from Solihull. I studied English there. Interesting, compact, campus and nice halls of residences in leafy Oadby.
Cardiff University, 2 and a quarter hours drive from Solihull, also requires AAB-ABB. In reality, Cardiff ends up with entrants with higher grades than Leicester on average. It is a capital city after all.

Thank you❤️

My daughter also wants to do Astrophysics, but she get A's in Maths and Computer Science. B's in Physics (of all things!) and has dropped out of Further Maths. 😕 She's thinking about Hertfordshire, as they accept lower grades and it's only an hour away from our home. Originally wanted Bath, but they want A* AA. I've never pushed her in this direction, it's all her idea, but I feel like part of the problem is she's not putting in the effort to get where she wants to be and she refuses to have a personal tutor. So, I've given up nagging. It's her life and her choice. I just hope she doesn't regret it further down the road.
