Are these universities good with my grade?

GCSEs: 1A, 5Bs, 5Cs
AS: AABC
Predicted: AAA

I want to study politics and economics:
1) Surrey - AAA
2) Kent - AAB
3)City - BBB
4) soas - AAA
5) not sure yet

Do you think I get can offers from these if my personal statement and reference is good? Even when my gcse's are not good

I doubt those care much about GCSEs and your GCSEs ARE good. And yes, there is virtually nothing stopping you but I would say that it depends on so many factors particularly who applied this year so no one can really tell you any kind of definitive answer.

Be more ambitious :smile:. UCL said you should have 3 aspirational choices, for example.

Damn, unfortunately i'm 100% sure you won't be considered because of that. I think maybe do a retake? Uni's are really strict with their GCSE requirements for Maths and English, especially the great ones like Surrey.
