Oxford Biology Predicted Grades
Hi everyone, I have recently received my predicted grades for my A-Levels which are A*A*B. The B is in Physics and although I was only 1 mark off the next grade, my school are really stingy about changing the prediction to A*A*A.
I want to apply for Biology at Oxford (requirement A*AA) does it make more sense to ask my school to balance my grades to A*AA or try and apply with A*A*B? Thanks

I personally would get them to change it, perhaps show keen and chat to your teacher on how to achieve the top grades and explain how you will provoke this improvement

Have they given a reason for not bumping your grade? Push for a real reason why if possible

Is there no way to do a retake? If they're stingy with everyone to make it fair (even if it's a bit unreasonable in some cases) it's gonna be hard to make them change it without you doing better on a retake.
