I thought it was pretty straightforward that My issue wasn't in understanding BA's rules on applying !. My issue was that BA may not look favourably on my application because i've been made do a fdn year.
As for the university it was Kingston and they required 220 pts but said they would only offer me the fdn year. Many others, including brunel and hertfordshire also require below 300.
Lastly, for NARIC, (i have gotten the english BBC in Irish equivalent as grades) but my grades don't exactly match. For example would they take AAABB as being equal to AAAAC ?, being honest i'd be very surprised if they didn't. But while trying not to be too pessimistic, say if they don't, then that means despite me getting 297 pts, because the grades don't exactly match they may say no. That is something which has been discussed on here before (with english alevel and whether BA would accept slight differences) and the only way to find out is to speak to NARIC.
