Acceptance into uni with less than requirements.

So I’ve applied for Journalism with foundation year at BCU, and for that I need CDD.

I do BTEC Applied Science, Geography and English Lang, and need 80 UCAS points from those 3.

I already know my BTEC Applied Science will be at a pass, but that’s only equivalent to an E, so what if I get only a D/C on my 2 A-Levels, will I still be accepted on results day even if the total of that is 72 UCAS points?

Nobody but the university can answer that and often wont know until A level results day when ALL the results are known.

Most universities tend to accept 1 or 2 dropped grades so there is a chance but that isnt guaranteed.

Hi @bloghog95

Unfortunately, we can't answer this until results day when your results are released.

If you're worried, I'd recommend looking into Clearing to prepare for results day in case you don't get the results you were hoping for: https://bit.ly/3TNG4S7

Good luck with your results and we hope you get the results you're hoping for!
