    My UCAS conditional offer states that I need BBBBCC to get in and specified that all B's must be B2's. However it did not specify anything about the C grades. Does anyone know if this means that they can be any C or do they have to be a C1/C2/C3? I'd really appreciate an answer as it will really lower my stress levels over the next few weeks. Thanks.

    If they don't specify it's anything in that grade as far as I know. My offer was AAB2B2B2, and the A's are an A1 or A2. Definitely give the applicants office a ring, they'll know for sure.

    I think any form of C. I've inquired about this before for Occupational therapy but it may change from course to course. Got in unconditionally myself but can't decide if i want to go.

    I emailed the university and they replied "We would advise that if a particular C grade had been required it would have been specified in your offer" I'm assuming this means that any C grade will do? That's a huge relief a week before the exams!! Thanks to everyone who replied for the help and good luck over the next few weeks :-)

    Glad you got such a favourable response. That's the sort of question I wouldn't ask. :p

    Why not? I'm just clarifying the grades I needed since they didn't appear to be specific enough in the conditional offer. It's not like anything negative could have come out of asking.

    Well, given that a bit of bargaining can be done if you fall just short of your offer and your course isn't over-subscribed, in the event that there were sub-grade requirements you could reasonably claim that your offer was misleading.

    Hey, I have a similar type of issue with my offer, hopefully someone could shed some light!
    I have an offer of 6B3's at HL to include Maths Bio English and 3 others obviously. (I do pass maths though...but I have 6 other honours) Before I applied I rang admissions to ask about the maths and they said the B I had in maths for HL for the JC would suffice buuuuttttt...it still says honours on my offer :/ and I have no written confirmation of them saying that.
    They called me for interview and I went and all the rest and nothing was said. Do you think they'll still take me because I was honest from the start? What should I do?
    Thanks :)
