Will Bath accept me?

Basically i have applied to bath aerospace and i am predicted A*AAA in maths,physics,fm and business. However, their typical offer is A*A*A which i dont meet. They did say on their website that they value fm and i have seen ppl w offers of A*AAB because of it. Idk if i would be straight rejected since i dont meet the typical offer in the first place

Hey there @edwinwa ,

Thanks for reaching out and its great to hear you've applied for Aerospace!

Its almost impossible to predict whether someone will receive an offer based on academic profile alone (although yours sounds excellent and yes, we do value FM as a fourth A level), because we consider a number of factors when assessing everyone's applications, including your PS, your context etc.

I would say that your academics so far and the fact that you're studying FM puts you in a good place to have made a competitive application. I would recommend right now to try to remember that no news is good news - try to focus on your studies, your hobbies and try not to worry. You could hear back from us at any point between now and late April.

Wishing you the best of luck and I hope that helps somewhat!

Hiya! Just want to confirm that you can receive an offer by meeting the alternative requirements even if you don't meet the standard requirements :smile:
