Safety options for architecture?

I should apply to 2 safety schools. My grades right now are Art(A), Physics(A), Maths(B). A*AB. however if in the real alevels my physics grade or my maths might go down (i pray not)

however if that were to happen are there any unis with the lower grade requirements. Eg A*BB - A*CC.

There's not usually more than a grade's difference between entry requirements, so A*BB (in UCAS points), will likely be AAB.
A*CC would be BBB.

It would be best to contact these unis and ask them before making an application to them.

Have a look at this brilliant thread from @normaw that summarises the entry requirements for all accredited architecture degrees. https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7536742

If you're worried about your physics and maths results then it might be worth looking at an architecture degree based in a specialist arts university as a good backup option. They're more likely to play to your academic strengths as well as being a good backup
