Predicted grades for architecture UAL and UCL

Hi everyone,

I got my predicted grades for A level and unfortunately, it is not what I wanted. I received a ABC

An A in English literature, B in history and C in art. However because I want to do architecture the C I received is giving me slim hope of getting into a good uni in London for architecture.

Do you think I can still apply to UAL and get in? What about UCL or is that reaching?

What are the entry requirements for both institutions?

AAB for both but I think UCL would be stricter with it

Unless you meet requirements for lower contextual offers / have mitigating circumstances that can be put in the UCAS reference, then chances are you're going to get flat rejections from both. I would seriously advise applying to courses that you are actually eligible for.

My sister got an offer at Royal Holloway with the grades wanted being AAB but was accepted with BBB. Surely personal statement plays a role?

Which course and was there a contextual offer or mitigating circumstances? Or was this in clearing?
It really isn't usually at all for a uni to accept a candidate two grades below their entry requirements without:
a) A contextual offer scheme
b) Mitigating circumstances declared in the reference
c) It being clearing

No she applied through UCAS normally with no mitigating circumstances or contextual offer and did not go through clearing? It was for marketing
