Uni Choices! Ambitious?

Hello,

Well I made three choices so far:
Birmingham (AAA)
Bristol (A*AA-AAB)
Nottingham (A*AA-AAA)
for Eco with Spanish, Eco with Study in C.E., and Eco with hispanic studies.

At GCSE I got A*A*(re shourtcourse) and the rest all A's (well except for IT dida, got a credit for that :tongue:)

At AS I got A's in Maths, Eco, Spanish and a B in Further (dropped). I'm predicted 3 A's.

So are my choices so far too ambitious?
What other unis should I apply to? Kent and Essex offer Eco with spanish, what do you think about these unis?
I could also apply for straight eco..any thoughts on that?

As you aren't predicted an A* then its a bit risky to put a lot of choices down which would give you an offer with an A*. Most unis tend to give you the higher offers, even if they say A*AA-AAB ect. I think you need at least one backup that you'd be happy to go to.

If you stick with those 3 it should be fine, but I would apply to an AAB and an ABB as well. Maybe even two ABB's, depending on how confident you are of achieving your predicted grades.
