BCU ask for 3B's and the 120 UCAS points. I am doing 4 A-levels and I am predicted to get BBCC, that's 144 points but obviously not 3 B's. Do the points matter more than the grades?

I am afraid I do not know the answer, I would expect even if you are doing 4 A-levels they would still want 3Bs, but they may be more likely to make an exception if you have over the required amount of UCAS points. I wouldn't worry about this now, concentrate on the exams, and then explore your options from there!
