Worried about potentially missing my offer

I’ve got an offer for PPL (Philosophy, Politics and Law) at Warwick for AAA and hopefully will start in september, and im getting quite anxious for results day. Im doing four A-levels rn and i am fairly confident about getting As in Politics and French but then like really worried I might slip to Bs in History and English.

That would put me at AABB overall which is obviously not enough. I know Warwick is a top uni and i think its competitive for PPL, but I’m just wondering if anyone here knows how strict they are with offers? Like would they still accept someone who just misses it with AABB, especially if the A grades are in relevant subjects like politics? cuz i feel like they wouldn't.

Would really appreciate any advice or if anyone’s been in a similar position in previous years did they still let you in, or was it a flat rejection?

In the same boat got A*AA offer and 3 A* in my mocks but super paranoid about whether the examiners mark differently to my teachers given they know my style so well

Hey, do you know why they gave an A*AA offer and not an AAA offer? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what grades did you apply with? I'm a year 12 student looking to apply for PPL with A*A*A.

i got an offer of AAB which is a contextual offer, im sure if they have enough availability they would accept aabb as an equivalent to AAA or AAB and will admit you
