I’m in year 12 and will be applying to uni this year for entrance in 2021, and I’m trying to get an idea about how many universities with higher entrance requirements I should apply to.
I’m studying 2 A-levels, a BTEC diploma worth 2 A-levels and an EPQ. It’s only June so I don’t have any predicted grades yet, but I’m guessing that I will be predicted grades anywhere between ABB DM and BBC MM. Does anyone know if it would be a good idea to apply to many Russell Group universities/prestigious universities with these predictions? The course I am most passionate about applying for at the University of Manchester has entry requirements of ADM, but I’d imagine that these would differ since I’m studying more than one A-level and an EPQ with the BTEC.
I know it’s a bit of a vague question, but I’m not exactly looking for an exact answer, I’m just trying to get a general feel for how applications to prestigious unis should look in terms of predicted grades.
