Is it too delusional to apply for an A*AA course with AAB?

6

Heya! I got AAB in A-levels (Maths,Chem n History) n was wondering if it was worth applying to an A*AA course - I am not contextual but I am applying under extenuating circumstances as I was diagnosed with ADHD after doing them. Is this too delusional or no?

which degree are you thinking of? depends on your other 4 choices as well - imo that might be a bit too aspirational but you can always try…

I think you should email the university but i also think you should put it as your aspirational one, you never know maybe they might drop the grades down a bit. Plus AAB is amazing!!!! congratulations 🥳🥳

This depends on a lot of factors
What subject is this?
What uni- if you dont want to specify then is it a top uni for that subject, highly ranked etc?
What are your other choices like?
Having ADHD diagnosed after a levels may not be a valid extenuating circumstance unless you can document the difficulties faced in that period. For example if you were struggling and this was recognised by your school but your lack of diagnosis meant you couldnt have access arrangements of some kind or that you were excluded because of your symptoms. The support you receive in schools is needs based so if you were struggling then you should have documentation of support or behaviour/academic concerns which weren’t treated as an educational need.
