If they would have done that with me I would have been screwed. I suppose if you are younger they might. However, if you have solid performance during your 4 year I do not know why they would give a shit. That being said, getting into a good school is not going to be easy if you have amounted to piss in high school.

By setting high school grade minimums in the UK, employers are indirectly screening out those who go to universities that aren't on their radar. Since here how well you do at high school is the deciding factor of where you end up - nothing else.
