Do universities allow a bit of a miss?

I got an offer for AABC, but if I get AAAD would I get rejected?

It depends entirely on results day. They could have an extremely good cohort and your grades might be more impressive to them than people who made the offer they offered, but if that happened you would not get a place and they would.

One of my friends missed his offer for engineering when he was offered AAA including maths and physics by getting AABB. He got A in maths and geography and a B in further maths and physics and the university still let him in because they respected the fact he had further maths so much. However one of my other friends got into the same university for maths and physics with an AAA offer to include maths and physics (plus step I think) and despite getting 100% in all of her maths and further maths modules and AAAB in maths, further maths, statistics and physics she was rejected due to getting one mark off an A in physics. Academically she did a lot better than the other guy, she beat most of the people who made their offers in maths in terms of academic ability and the university would loved to have taken her over a lot of them, but the fact that too many people got their offers meant that she was not given a place even though she was better than a lot of the other applicants who secured places.

Hope this helps. Apologies for how verbose it is.

How can we possibly tell you? We are not admissions tutors and it isn't results day yet. You will just have to wait and see.

I got an offer from Manchester at the same department. At my interview they said, if the course requires maths at A-Level, and you miss the grade, your application will be reviewed, but they consider maths to be the most important result.

Its a silly question - if they fill all their spaces with people who have made the grades, then they probably won't consider those who have fallen short of a grade at all. If they have a few spaces left where offers have been missed then sure, your having taken particular modules etc. may stand in your favour, or if they have lots of spaces left to fill they might just let you in anyway. it completely depends... wouldn 't your time be better spent working to get the offered grades than analysing all the 'what ifs' which are completely out of your control anyway?

Exeter let me in when i missed by 10 points so you just never know.

I hate it when people say "work rather than use forums." This is my little break inbetween studying, and I personally prefer going online and learning about questions that are bugging and gain for opinions to put my mind at rest...

But thanks for the information none-the-less.

When did i ever say get off the forum.. what do you think i'm doing here? sorry just people ask such silly questions sometimes! How are we to know if they'll let you in or not! just got to hope!

I wasn't trying to imply "get off forums." Just trying to say that this puts my mind at ease, knowing that I might have a chance rather than to keep thinking about it; this helps me stop thinking about it. I have some views on what might happen, from others experience. In my opinion it isn't such a silly question, I don't know how universities pick their places and asked about it here. I got my answer so now I'm contempt...
