University choices ?

Well 1 is 38 ranked uni in the uk and 300 in the world the other is ranked 90-100 in the uk and 800-1000 in the world

I assume it depends on the course, and how different the 'bad' and 'good' universities are to each other.

Go into a better uni and do a year in foundation year ranking of 38th in the uk
Or get straight into year 1 with a different uni which is ranked around 80-90th in the uk

Either Swansea uni to study history
Or university of South Wales history

Yeh it’s a way better uni and I haven’t got my grades yet so with luck I will get accept straight into Swansea without foundation year and doesn’t anyone know if history degree courses are lenient with grades so if u don’t get the 120 ucas points needed can u still get in ?

Yes, but a poor choice imo.

What were your a levels ? Subjects and grades?
Are you self financing or using sfe?

Most universities for lots of courses are lenient with grades, so if you slightly miss your offer you will probably be allowed in.

I just wanted to say that not everyone is going to achieve the highest grades, no matter how hard they work or if they resit. As long as somebody has worked hard and achieved their potential, there is no shame in achieving whatever results that person gets, whether that be AAA or DDD. If the OP wants to go to Swansea and study history, what is wrong with that?

If you doiont have your A level results, then am not seeing why or how you are making the decisions.

Cause my insurance choice uni gave me an unconditional offer which is the same grades required for the foundation year at Swansea this is why

And you could always release yourself into clearing and apply for the foundation year at Swansea, if it's available and you miss your firm offer.

Why not mention that in the OP?
What is your first choice?
How do you think you have done?
Are you using student finance?
