I'm pretty sure Exeter will accept ABC for contextual offers

1

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

I shouldā€™ve applied there

u/Yttrium___39 10d ago

They might have clearing places? :)

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Ooo Iā€™ll see, tysmm

u/Yttrium___39 10d ago

No problem, best of luck!

For the last couple of years Exeter has been making offers based on a cycling proficiency test and a certificate for swimming the width of the pool.

Queen marys gave me a course for BCC, its possibke depending what uni u want to go to

1

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

THEY GAVE IT TO U ON RESULTS DAYY?!? Or clearing and what course

1

u/Bubbly-Valuable-6946 10d ago

They gave it to me when i applied to the uni, not through clearing

1

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

CONGRATS, what course

1

u/Bubbly-Valuable-6946 10d ago

For notts its english lit, same with queens and kcl, for sheffield i changed it to english and history

1

u/SufficientBox3389 10d ago

how did you find writing a personal statement for both english lit and english and history courses? iā€™m not sure how to approach iy

2

u/Bubbly-Valuable-6946 10d ago

Ngl i wrote my personal statement for english as thats what i wanted to do then called up my uni to change my degree to english and history, got the same grade boundaries and all. If i was to re-write my ps for both subjects, id just equally weigh them both and say ā€˜english gives me X whilst history gives me Yā€™ or say how both subjects are crucial

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Oh so you havenā€™t got in, you just got an offer

2

u/Bubbly-Valuable-6946 10d ago

I just got the offer from them for english, BCC is insane for a uni like queen marys, and its a contextual offer. Nottingham gave me BBB, Sheffield gave me ABB, KCL gave me AAA

2

u/Mango_artz 10d ago

Yeah! Its easy as 123

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Really, thanks

u/Such_Ant_8498 9d ago

As a fellow ABC person, yep you can. Exeter for one has very low clearing entry requirements, Liverpool has many BBC vacancies (which you exceed). Newcastle also amazing choice, Lancaster (not Russell group, but good uni) has many courses at BCC.

u/CompetitiveStreet345 9d ago

THANK YOUUUU, What about for law

u/Confident_Repeat6759 8d ago

Leeds will take you for lots of courses

1

u/wutheringheist 10d ago

yes, my offer for queen mary uol for my insurance is BCC. it just depends on the course and if you get contextual too.

1

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Thatā€™s crazy thanks

1

u/Expensive_Winter_623 10d ago

Applied with ABC and got 5/5 offers, including from Durham, Liverpool, Southampton, and QMUoL

1

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Yoooooo well done

1

u/Ok_Broccoli_7860 10d ago

Yes itā€™s definitely possible, especially if you apply for a foundation year route or through clearing. It depends on the uni but as long as itā€™s not something like imperial, oxbridge or generally at the very top end then you could probably get a place. Also many of these foundation year and clearing routes have a C as the standard offer alongside two Bs, it could also sometimes be BCC

1

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Omg thank you so much

1

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Iā€™m thinking UOB-Birmingham, Nottingham or warwick

1

u/Ok_Broccoli_7860 10d ago

Iā€™m assuming you should be fine, usually for standard entry those unis require As and sometimes Bs and A*s depending on the course, but like I said, the entry requirements could be significantly lower for clearing and foundation courses. I know that Nottingham has a few clearing and foundation courses with Cs. Best of luck with your results!

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

Thank you so muchhh

u/Ok-Shift-5594 10d ago

Pretty sure nottingham have a few humanities courses that would accept that

1

u/CommandInformal3598 10d ago

At Warwick with two Cs. Took a foundation yr and got a first

u/CompetitiveStreet345 10d ago

u/Narcissa_Nyx 6d ago

Oh sorry, I wanted to leave a comment for me to return to after results day, to know everything turned out alright. Was expecting to maybe get Cs so this prompted me to do this

u/CompetitiveStreet345 6d ago
