UCAS firm and insurance choices?
I've recieved conditional offers from Manchester Metropolitan University and Winchester University.
They both offered me 300 UCAS points but only Winchester takes my AS grade which I recieved last year into account when calculating the whole 300 points.
This means that I would only need A,C,C grades to get into Winchester along with my AS grade which I got last year. But in Manchester I would need to get A, B, C this year.
My question is can I firm Manchester and have Winchester as an insurance even though they've given me the same offer of 300 points? Because technically I need lower grades this year for Winchester.
toscamo - I did contact the admissions and they said they do not accept AS grades. They really should since it's actually half of an actual A Level and as you said it's part of the UCAS tariff, but yeah if I can firm and insurance any offers then I will have Winchester as a back up :) x

Totally. You can do whatever you wish when choosing your firm and insurance, you can even have your firm be of a lower entry requirement. You are only restricted if you have unconditional offers, in that instance you can only have a firm.

you can 'firm' and 'insurance' whichever offers you like
AS levels can only be counted if they're in a different subject to your A levels - if yours is, then both universities should count your AS level, it's all part of the UCAS tariff, so it may be worth contacting the admissions office of Manchester uni to make sure their offer is correct.
