Hi there @sfflying ,

It is great to hear that you are considering the University of Reading to study Architecture! You can definitely still apply to Reading with grades ABC. While the typical offer is ABB, universities often consider a range of factors when assessing applications so it is still 100% worth applying. Some factors they may consider is your portfolio which may strengthen your application due to the fact it showcases your skills. They will also consider you personal statement which will demonstrate your passion for studying architecture making you a strong candidate!

If you are still worried, you can reach out to the University of Reading Admissions team to discuss your situation. They will be able to provide clarity on how they assess applicants with slightly lower grades than the typical offer. You can contact Admissions here. They will be happy to help 🙂

Good luck with your application! Let us know if you have any more questions about studying or student life here at Reading!

All the best,
Millie 🙂
