    Your choices look fine as long as you're confident that you'll get the minimum offer of AAA. However, if I were you, I would have an AAB in there just in case things don't go as planned. I have a friend who aimed very highly and ended up being gravely disappointed.
    yeah that is a good point, i guess i need to be on the safe side. thanks!
