Predicted grades and UCAS application - physio

4

I am Predicted D*(A*), A,B,C with the C in Biology. For all of my choices I need ABB FOR Physiotherapy which I have but it has to be a B in biology. My teachers will not change my grade, and I can only find one course that allows a C in Biology. I'm not sure if I apply for the other 4 as they have all taken on people with CCC and risk it. Can anyone help?

How do you know they've taken people on with CCC?

It says grades they have accepted on the ucas website, and when I have been to open days students have said they got Cs.

Could you confirm the bits in brackets as your qualifications aren't very clear.

D* - Introductory Diploma in Sport (is this a BTEC or a CTEC?)
A - Welsh Bacc
B - Medical Science (WJEC Level 3?)
C - Biology (AL?)

NB. The D* would typically be viewed as an 'A' grade equivalent by most uni's. Welsh Bacc acceptance is sketchy and not often considered as a full AL, (some unis offer a small reduction in required grades, but not all).
