We are new to this, both parents foreigners and first child going to university in the UK.
What happens if your predicted grades are lower than you need but you achieve the grades you need. Does this mean you may not get any offers

University applications process predicted grades

Unless you’ve taken exams and are applying grades in hand, offers are based on predicted grades. If they’re lower than grade requirements you are unlikely to get an offer. If you then achieve the grades needed you would see if anything was available via clearing or take a year out and apply grades in hand the following year.

Thank you. Everything was simpler when I went to university back home. So basically if the predicted grades aren’t good it is better not to waste your time. And when does the school get the predicted grades? DC had second mocks in June. I think first ones were good.
DC needs A* maths, A A. So it is basically all or nothing
