Contextual Offers Clearing
11
Hi all,
I have an AAA offer which I’m thinking of firming and an ABB offer I’m thinking of insuring. However, I want to have a “backup” if I miss both offers in clearing, as I achieved ABB in my last mock (the B’s were closer to As than Cs though, so I am predicted AAA in my final exams if everything goes smoothly).
While I rarely perform worse than ABB/equivalent, it is not impossible for me to drop a grade or two below this threshold if something goes wrong. I have a BBC offer from QMUL and I was thinking about having them as my “backup” if I miss both offers as they always participate in clearing for my course. However, this is a contextual offer, and the typical requirements is ABB. I was wondering if they would give me an (contextual) offer through clearing if I achieve BBB/BBC. Do they typically accept people with slightly below their standard entry requirements?
thanks

Universities don't 'do' Contextual / WP offers in Clearing - there isnt enough time or information to assess each applicant in a hurry on the phone - so the grades you see on the Uni's website on Results Day as the Clearing requirements for that course is what you need.
