CompSci Applicant for 2012
Hey guys,
I've been set on Computer Security for a few years, as a final endpoint, and my Computing teacher at my school has suggested me doing straight CompSci, then specializing after a few years in industry.
As I've only got about 6 months to decide, I need to narrow down the list of unis dramatically, and I thought getting input from you guys here would help.
In terms of AS subjects, I'm doing Computing, Maths, Latin, and English Literature (looking to drop Lit this year). Grade wise, I got 7 A*s at GCSE, but I'm trying to avoid the AAA unis, as I'm really worried I will not perform, and will inevitably flunk.
Can anyone lend me some help on some good ones?
Thanks

Comp Sci usually has slightly lower requirements so the better Uni's have AAA. Nottingham is a good insurance on like BBC.
