Should I apply to Manchester though my predicted grades are lower than entry req?
Manchester is my dream school. Its the top school on my list. I want to apply to Economics and Data analytics. Entry requirments are AAA, my predicted grades are A*BB. A* in Economics, B in math and IT. This is a grade lower(?) Should I still give it a shot or is it an automatic rejection?

One risky choice is worth it - just be prepared for No.
And btw, its two grades lower as 'grade' Unis look at individual grades not 'totals'.
And, please, we do not have 'schools' here. We have Universities. This is not America.
