Uk university help

hey guys so i’m applying to universities in the uk next week and i just wanted to know a few opinions. here are the ones i’m looking at to study business:
(i’ll write the requirement next to the uni) my predicted grades for A level are A B B
exter (AAB - ABB)
royal holloway (AAB - ABB)
sussex (ABB - BBB)
leicester (ABB)

Would it be worth it considering university of Birmingham? it’s requirements are AAB but i don’t know how hard it is to get into it. Also, since i’m already applying to universities which accept A A B, should i consider Birmingham?
Please let me know if any of you have any info on these unis!

Exeter is by far the strongest choice in your list ... you need a lower choice in your mix as the lower grades normally apply for contextual offers.

with ABB, you should probably be applying for 1/2 choices at AAA-AAB level, a couple at AAB level and one or two safe choices depending on how many you've got left

I think you are OK with your options. Both Exeter and Royal Holloway are known to accept slightly lower grades and you just a grade below. Leicester tend to accept lower grades so I wouldnt worry too much about lower offers. I would be tempted to risk Birmingham.

Brunel is not a very popular uni ... I'd look elsewhere.

Do you need to go lower. Every year there are universities in clearing with grades below BBB. These are often universities requesting higher grades who end up accepting less. I list below some of the grades accepted in Law clearing for 2019.

Lancaster LLB vacancies BBB/BBC
Queens Uni Belfast LLB ABC/BBB
Leicester uni LLB vacancies BBB, reportedly accepted ABD
Liverpool LLB only in early Clearing for those achieving around BBB/BBC
SOAS BBB/BBC
Surrey LLB vacancies at BBB/BBC
Sussex LLB vacancies at BBC
Kent LLB vacancies at BBC
Keele LLB vacancies at BBC
Sheffield Hallam BBC
Aston LLB Law & Management BBC
City Uni LLB BBC/BCC
Reading reportedly went down to BCD
UEA, RHUL, Swansea, Hull LLB vacancies (grades not known)
Oxford Brookes LLB 96 UCAS points

I believe Birmingham does have quite a high offer rate, so if you want to go there its worth giving it a shot. I agree with previous comments though, you may want to have at least one safer choice in the mix.
