<human>: Hey everyone!:)

I'm currently a student in the UK who has just finished their AS levels and will be studying for my A2s starting from this September, so now I have the fun task of thinking about uni (which is fricking terrifying if you ask me!) but yeah basically I'm interested in studying an undergraduate's degree in Philosophy and saw that the requirement was around 300 UCAS points -fair enough - so then I was thinking whether I'd be able to take that course, so I used this calculator thing on the UCAS website and put in my estimated grades for my entire A levels (as well as the grade I'm likely to get in the subject I'm leaving as an AS) and it added up to just 144 points, below half of what is required!!  

I'd really appreciate any help, I'm sorry if I'm being a complete twat or anything;) but am I using the calculator wrong? (I'm near certain I used it correctly) or am I just not intelligent enough for uni? Or perhaps there's some rule that uni's are going to lower their requirements for when I get to the university stage (2016/17)? 

Thanks in advance for any help!
