BBB predicted optometry

I want to apply to optometry, but I'm predicted BBB in bio, chem and maths. Is that good enough to receive an offer, or should I wait and try to get ABB predicted. I mainly want to go to Aston.

ABB is for contextual offers so if you fit their requirements for that then I’d say wait until you can get ABB predicted. If they’re not upping it but you’re set on Aston maybe do a gap year and apply with archived grades? As then you’re not needing the teachers to essentially decide where you go.

Did they say that specifically for optometry or just in general?

is 'usually consider from BBB and up' contextual or non-contextual?
