What should ds do here?
AAA from both Manchester and Liverpool for architecture.
Pref is Manchester but knows that he can only achieve AAB (due to knowing where he stands with his Art course work to date).
Can he hold Manchester as firm and Liverpool as insurance?
Do you think that there is any chance that Manchester will take him if he gets AAB - and if they dont would Liverpool then take him if they were just insurance?
Does anyone have any insight into previous years and what grades got thru? He has heard anecdotally from a 1st year friend at Liverpool (doing Geog) that someone they know is on the arch course with ABC -- no idea how many others are on the course without AAA.
He has no insight/info on Manchester but believe it to be a much more oversubscribed course & uni?
Should he cut my losses, not take any risks - reject Manchester and firm Liverpool with this infp?
Would Liverpool be less likely to let him in on AAB if he had put them as insurance rather than as firm?
