Imperial AAA with the A to be chem or bio. Imperial was her ‘dream shot’, she sat the BMAT specifically to apply having loved the open day, thinking she wouldn’t stand a chance. Originally her top choices were kings and Nottingham.
Kings AAA with the A subject not specified - and she might well be rejected yet as not heard back
Sheffield AAA, will accept A*AB and have been known to accept AAB but not guaranteed, especially as an insurance choice. Felt a bit ambivalent about Sheffield until offer holder day which completely changed her view.
Also has offer for AAA Nottingham/Lincoln but is planning to decline due to prosection, location and having preferred offers already.
Boyf unlikely to not go to oxford as offer grades well below both predicted and mock grades and his other offers want higher grades. She’s realistic that both are aiming for high pressure courses and at their age things change. She also has a medical history that makes easy contact with home a good idea, which is another plus for London.
Fairly confident of achieving grades for imperial but concerned about possibility of A maths and A’s for sciences. Confident of A maths, she did FM in year 12 but dropped down to single A level. Chemistry she tends to get As, but the occasional B - never an A yet! Has been doing a past paper a week since before Christmas and getting 83-90% on all. Biology is predicted A, and is usually A* or high A.
I’m saying to just insure Sheffield and withdraw from kings, as she knows that she’d be happy at Sheffield and it gives her more leeway on grades. She’s saying she wants to wait to hear from kings but doesn’t know what she’d do if she got an offer anyway! I think she’s a bit attached to kings as it was originally her top choice, rather than being a bit more objective.
I know there are worse quandaries to have x
