DD had a list of three universities she liked in her expected grade range and two insurance options. Her favourite is York, which asks for AAB.
Predicted grades have come back today and hers are A, A, A for economics, classics and maths. I think that York would still be her first choice, but she is being encouraged to at least consider a couple of more ambitious options too and she is now also a little worried she is undershooting. Her interests are more in health and development economics than in finance.
However, we are a bit stuck about other options. She doesn’t want to be in London, wants a campus university and no more than a couple of hours from london on the train. She is autistic and dyslexic, and would need good support around neurodiversity. There are several (e.g Warwick, Cambridge) where an offer is highly unlikely. The only other options we can think of are Bath and Exeter (not sure she has high enough GCSE grades for Bath- they were 6-8’s.) it’s not the end of the world if she overshoots and doesn’t get an offer somewhere as she loves both York and Sussex.
Before we go back to the drawing board, I wonder if there are any other suggestions?
