My son is hoping to go to University this September. He has conditional offers from 4 of the Uni's he applied to and an unconditional from one, or at least he thinks he has! The revised unconditional offer letter came by post in January following an original offer of ABB in December but UCAS still lists the offer as conditional ABB. Is this normal or should he check that the unconditional offer is genuine? Also, his favourite uni (Birmingham) is a conditional offer of AAA. I feel quite proud that he is not just falling into the easy option (which would be his 2nd choice anyway) but also a little nervous as he's only predicted AAB. Also, he is on a group chat on The Student Room for his chosen course at B'ham and has told me that a lot of the students on it have unconditionals. I was hoping that if he drops a grade and gets AAB that they might still take him but with so many unconditional offers out there this seems unlikely! Is it really worth the risk?
