Need some advice.

I got my A’Level grades yesterday and they are 501/600 in Chemistry(A), 465/600 in Physics(B) and 474/600 in Math(A). Where can I get in with these grades? I was thinking of retaking a few units in Physics and Math to get to 3As in May, but then I can’t apply. What should I do.

I assume you are an International applicant who took A level exams in Nov/Dec?

What degree subject do you want to apply for - and are you aware that many Unis closed applications in January?

Have you already applied for Uni - or are you only now completing your UCAS application?
Many courses closed in January and so you need to act quickly with the grades you have.

Phone - don't email - Unis as soon as you can, and ask if they are still open to International applications. As you are an International fee payer, they may accept you with the grades you have - even if the entry requirements are higher.- suggestions :

BSc Mathematics and Physics (2026 entry) | The University of Manchester
Mathematical Physics | MMath | University of Southampton
Mathematical Physics MMath - 2025/26 entry - Courses - University of Liverpool
