Universities for Physics | Grades AAA

Are you going through clearing or applying for next year?

First of all I would say AAA is very good and something you should be proud of.
I would suggest looking at league tables for tour chosen picks, emailing the unis to find out more about disability support and looking at their websites for this as well but also for course content and if they do intergrated master's.

This is what I'm doing, but I'm also looking for any suggestions people have for universities I may have overlooked.

Nottingham and Southampton might be worth a look. I think they both require AAA for the integrated master's.
As for arguing with your mum: I think I did hear about people getting in with AAB achieved or something. I think it was for PPE or some other courses that require AAA, so they only missed their offer by one grade, and it's also probably the kind of course where A-level success doesn't translate as directly to success in the course (whereas for physics it's fairly clear that the better you are at maths problems the better you'll do). And that was after they had already been given an offer, which is the difficult part with Oxford. Their predicted grades would have been at least AAA or higher when they originally applied. Also practising for the PAT would probably be a distraction from the application process.

I'm pretty sure the ones she read were the ones about that scandal a while back with rich internationals being admitted with significantly lower grades, whether or not she interpreted it correctly I don't know. My physics teacher is calling me tomorrow to talk things through (he was in China on results day but tbh he's the guy I need right now) and I'm probably going to ask him to call her and try to explain since she probably just straight up won't believe me, because anything I say is attacking her.

lol and Prince Edward got in to Cambridge with three Cs. Getting your teacher to speak with her is the right call, they've probably had similar conversations fifty times with other parents but if she doesn't believe him then she won't believe anyone. You've already got some excellent unis in your list and physics is a good degree to have no matter where you studied it.
