Dependent on your course. However, just from looking at it, they seem very good to me!

UCL ask for B's in english, maths and science at gcse so your maths grade could be a problem, universities can be quite strict on gcse grades so you need to contact them before applying.
KCL again asks for a B in maths so contact them as well.

A-Levels are more of a concern to be honest, UCL maybe a stretch but with a good reference and ps you should be alright for KCL.

I’ll call them tomorrow. However, I have already applied. BUT I have university of Kent & Queen Mary as backup plans.
Thank you for the advice

when did you apply, if it's less than a week ago then you would still be able to swap them?

Thank you. I’ve been told that my PS is “impressive”. Perhaps that will help.

More than a week. It’s unfortunately too late to swap.
School encouraged us all to apply early.

It wouldn't have made a difference as long as it was before January, I m sorry that they rushed you.
What about 8A's in GCSE? Is that ok for UCL?
