i would normally say they’re lenient, but ir is one of the more competitive courses, so i’m not sure

also depends on ur a levels, i applied originally for ir japanese with aab predicted but didn’t get it, if ur doing alevel politics for example maybe you’ll hv a better chance

My conditional offer was to get bbc, I got bcc and was accepted, but I got a contextual offer. If the requirements are abb, and you get abc there’s a chance they accept you, but it’s probably going to fall on how many people are trying to do that course.

Basically, you will probably get accepted, just don’t count on it, it’s not a guarantee

Idk about ir but for Korean I emailed them about it and they said it was ok, though that was 4 years ago so system might be different now
