A* EPQ and clearing

Starting to panic for DD now that we're only two days away from results. DD has had a very very tough few years health wise, and has received contextual offers at both her firm and insurance choices. Also dyslexic.

She worked so hard on her EPQ and came up with a quirky subject area and was awarded 46/50 which I believe is an A*. EPQ format worked well for dyslexic DD rather than traditional exams.

My question is, do you think this A* might help her still receive a place at her chosen Unis if she drops a grade (given the fact that she already has contextual offers)? Unfortunately she chose a couple of notoriously difficult A'levels which aren't doing her any favours and they are also unrelated to proposed degree subject. One A'level is related of course. Her current Uni offers don't include the EPQ as part of the offer.

Would welcome any wise words. She really really wants her firm choice.

OP are her firm and insurance choices aware of the difficulties she’s had during her A Levels? That, far more than the EPQ would make us likely accept additional dropped grades at my place.
