Will i get any offers?

Original post by ndiensxhj

Hi! I am an aspiring Politics and International Relations student! I study A-level Politics, History and Sociology and I am predicted AAA.
My GCSEs bring me down a bit:
8 - History
7- Eng Lang
6 - Eng Lit
6 - Maths
66 - Combined Science
5 - Geography
4 - RE
4 - German
3 - Computer Science
I've applied to:
UCL - PIR - AAA
Kings - IR - AAA
SOAS - PIR - AAB
Queen Mary UoL - PIR - ABB
City, UoL - IP - BBB
How likely is it I will receive offers from all 5?

yeah TBH predictions mean basically nothing in most schools. A lot of them will hyperinflate. (UNLESS youre in a very high performing school in which case unis basically trust the predicted grades)
That's why they require your GCSEs.
unfortunately, this would be seen as a very very very dramatic hyperinflation of your prediction, hence your A Levels would be deemed unreasonble. Unfortunately, thiese are a pretty poor set of results so sadly I think UCL and kings may be a bit unrealistic at this stage

If it's international relations then just work on getting that AAA in your Alevels your teachers know you best so if they think you are capable of getting AAA then you are. Your teachers know you best. Work hard smash your exams you'll be fine you can do this and you will do it. Happy new year

The average GCSE grade last year was 4.8, how is the OP's a poor set of results? Also do you work for Kings or UCL? Who are you tell people they won't get in??

Yeah thats the problem with people on this app....if you don't get straight 9s in GCSE and 4A*s at A level you're considered 'poor' or 'average'...
