Can I get into Durham with a predicted B

I’m looking to apply for law at Durham, however I’m getting predicted a B in history. I take 3 other A-Levels, English Language, Law and German, in which I’m predicted A*, A, A, respectively. I also do extra curricular such as essay competitions and I’m a subject prefect in 3 of these subjects alongside a house captain and form prefect. Is there any point still applying to Durham if I’m predicted a B or would these other credentials and a good personal statement save it for me?

Drop History.
You have 3 strong grades and you do not need a 4th subject - and you are risking all of your other grades when you don't need to. AAA will always look better than ABBB.

PS. Useful for Law Personal Statements - listen to some of these BBC Law podcasts BBC Radio 4 - The Law Show - Available now
