I was wondering if someone could explain the maximum number of of UCAS point you are allowed to claim. I understand that if I have grade 6 and 8 piano, I can only claim the points for Grade 8. However, if I have grade 7 in another instrument - viola - can I claim the points for this or can I still only claim for the grade 8?

Anyway - I have a different question. If I decide to apply to uni to do music this autumn, and I haven't done grade 8 but got a high distinction at grade 6 and would be doing grade 8 the following term, do you think they would consider me at all? Or does one have to have grade 8 at the time one is applying?

Yes, they will. The significance of your playing standard to the unis depends on the nature of their course, so take advice and study each prospectus with care. :D
