Ds is taking all 4 subjects to A2, (despite advice to the contrary) he does Maths, Economics, Spanish and Drama. He got AAAB at AS, the B was in maths, it was unexpectedly low and he will retake at least one module next year, he believes he can get an A for maths overall.
He wants to study Economics at university.
His school have given predicted grades A*,A, A, B, with the B in maths.They will not consider retakes in their predictions.
The courses/unis ds really wants (Exeter/Bath) want A*AA, with an A in maths.
Can anyone let me know if these universities will reject him on his predicted grades or is it still worth applying, how much attention do they pay to school/tutor references, which will be good, and will presumably include the fact that he intends to resit some maths modules. I am worried that the B maths prediction will scupper his chances.
