Entry Requirements?

OK today I got a letter from UCAS saying I'd got a conditional offer from University of Kent for Social Anthropology.
This is what it said about the entry requirements...
A minimum of 260 UCAS Tariff points
including
GCE A level
Grades BC
Does this mean I only need two A-levels (a B and a C) to get in?!

Could it have just been a typing error that should have said "BCC"? I don't think I'm meant to take my AS level grades into consideration am I?
260 points is BCC so I'd go with that - but as always, if you're not sure then just call the university, write or email them. I did that when I got one of my offers asking me to get an A in A Level Law when I didn't even do law! So they aren't completely infallible...
Lol I needed 28
I'm quite proud of my D, N and U!!!
lol my bro got C, E, N and U he was proud of them as well....still doesn't beat my 12/150 for one of my maths papers
But then I went on to be top of my entire uni in my HND then get a 2.1 the next year, so you can do well with shit a-level results.
i think i need 240 points...pah
if all else fails, i could do estate agency - you only need 60 points.
somehow, criminology and social policy appeals to me a bit more....:p
I am planning to do a Business degree, likely as a joint-honours maybe with Accountancy or Law?
I think the joint hournour system is a good idea, but they take the highest entry requiremnt from the two.
IE:
At UKC Business Admin is BBC (280), Law is ABB (320), so Business Admin with Law is ABB (320)
I think i am on my way for a ACC(280), but Business is by far my strongest subject (esp Finance even though I only managed a C at GCSE Maths and didnt take the A-level).
I have heard of friends being accepted onto courses such as Geography with complete failure at A-level, but business is a very popular course for students to take, so from the above information, would you think that it will be likely I would be accepted under a joint honour system?
The best thing to do is try, as im sure I will, i'd just like opinions of people who have already passed this hurdle'
