Uni choices too risky?

If I don't get in a Uni I want to go to I'd rather do another year in college than spend 3 years at somewhere I don't want to be.
Am I likley to get offers from these AAB-ABB unis?

Hi, just looking for advice on the universities I've picked:
York, Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Leicester - for Economics.

AS grades: Economics A, Maths B, History B, Drama C.
Predicted: Economics A*, History A, Maths B.

I think you will have a good chance with these. With the Maths, can you resit any earlier modules towards the end of your A2 year, because thats a strategy when you are a far better mathematician, that can get you extra marks in the bank and push that up to an A. But I think if you are an A* economist that you will have a good chance with these unis.

I think you just answered your own question.

And I share your view by the way.

Thanks everyone

Yep that's the plan, I think I could ace C1 and S1 now and hopefully come out with an A in maths.




I don't think I answered my question? Sorry if I was confusing

The reason I'm unsure if I'll get offers (especially from the AAB universities like York) is because I didn't actually achieve these grades at AS Level.

You asked if those unis are too risky.

You said you would not want to go to a uni that you don't like.

Hence apply to those that you want, no matter how risky, if you would take a year out anyway if you didn't get those.

I'm just surprised by how many of you would choose spending one year outside university than going to one they dislike.
I agree with you!
