Is the University of Birmingham lenient?

I already have my A Level grades: ABB but to study law I need AAB (as someone who’s eligible for the contextual).

I really hope to get into Birm and just want to rule out the possibility of this happening.

I am doing everything I can to make up for the lower grade such as relevant work experience etc.

Does anyone have experience with them lowering the entry requirements as of recently?

If you are not retaking any subjects then you'd need to ask them directly whether you still might be considered.

Unis are more likely to be lenient when applying with predictions rather than achieved grades.
