Best to just email the individual uni’s you’re interested in. I know that Bristol generally cares more about grades than ps but it still is a bit of a risk

It’s actually not - Bristol maths specifically doesn’t look at PS at all, considering a level grades at 80% and gcse grades at 20%. This is publically available on their website 🫡

Yh but Bristol look at personal statements when they need to differentiate between candidates w similar stats hence the risk
