    Any idea of what predicted grades you're looking at (A*AA I'm guessing?) and how confident are you of doing well at these? Do you want to play it very safe or take more of a risk?

    Also, help the lazy amongst us and tell us what the typical requirements for the university you've already chose are. :p:

    Although league tables aren't everything, the Guardian 2013 guide for physics:

    Looks like Durham, Birmingham, Liverpool are similar to what you're thinking of applying for in terms of prestige and quality, so possibly them?
