Uni for Mechanical Engineering with BBB predicted grades

A level has not gone as has hoped for. DD predicted BBB for physics, maths & psychology instead of the AAA she had hoped for (and will try and work towards still). So her first choice (Sheffield) is out of reach as that requires A*AA. Wondering if she should still apply though for MEng with foundation year. This requires BBB/BBC. Worried she might not keep up though after foundation year. Would love to hear people’s experiences regarding doing foundation year.

She is currently rethinking her choices and is also thinking of applying for BEng instead but hoping to do well enough to move to MEng after the 1st or second year depending on the uni.

Would love to hear of your experiences of applying for mechanical engineering with BBB predicted grades.

There are other Mech Eng BEng & MEng degrees!! Just make sure they are IMechE accredited. If it’s Sheffield as a city she wants (and it’s a great city!), the MEng in Mech Eng at Sheffield Hallam is accredited to IMechE and has an entry requirement of 96-112 UCAS points.
