Uni of exeter missed grades

I got an offer for ABB, and since i firmed them it was lowered to a BBB or ABC (or any equivalent). I dont think i'll get either of those grades cause of physics and most likely get a BBC or BCC. Will they still let me in with those grades or no chance? thanks

That would depend on how many places are left on the course (if any) after offer-holders who meet their offer conditions have had their places confirmed. Unfortunately, that's unknowable. What degree is this for?

engineering, which i dont think is a super competitive course there (correct me if im wrong)

If you look at the "Historical entry grades data" section of this UCAS page, you'll see that they have accepted candidates who achieved BBC in recent years.

Note that UCAS discard the top and bottom 5% whilst compiling this data, so there could have been some BCC candidates accepted too. But, equally, all the BCC and BBC candidates accepted may have been contextual.
Also, the above does not mean they'll do the same this year.

How come you had your grades lowered if you had firmed them, did you get a contexual offer ?

no i dont have a contexual offer. they sent me an email saying because i put them as my firm, even if i miss my grade by one they will still accept me into the uni. they do it for everyone who firms them i believe

I did not get that for some reason, i have firmed business management with finance

oh that's odd. May i ask what you offer is from them? This i what my email said from them if you were curious 🙂
Based on your strong predicted grades and your application overall, we are confident that you can make an outstanding contribution to our student community. We would therefore like to confirm that; as you have chosen us as your firm choice, we guarantee to accept you if you miss your offer by one grade *, excluding any subject requirements stated in your original offer.
* Equivalent to one A level grade drop.
Here are some examples of how this will work:
You choose Exeter as your firm choice:
Any specific subject requirements stated within your offer would still need to be achieved at the grade stated.
I don't think it is subject secific to my course either

What did you apply with ?. I had applied with A* AB

Exeter historically have been pretty "flexible" on results day. Engineering also in particular tends to take a pretty broad range of not-so near misses as well.
I'd be surprised if you weren't accepted unless you get a C in maths or something.

I'd defininetly get a B in maths its just physics which dropped down to a C. So do you think there is still a chance for me to still get into exeter with a BBC (more likely) or BCC (really worst case senario)?

I think BBC would probably be fine. That said I'm pretty sure there were some people who actually got CCC when I was there...

oh wow that's reassuring thank you! Since you said you studied there, how did you find the uni and the course?

Guys I'm applying to Exeter this year for sport and exercise science and i get contextuals and i got a conditional offer for bbc, do you think they'll also lower my offer by a grade if i firm them? i know for sure they're my top choice so im gonna firm them anyway but it'd be nice if they lowered it.
