Realistic Uni Choices?

I got AABC at AS in maths physics biology and chemistry. I dropped Chemistry for A2.
My uni choices are Imperial, UCL, Warwick, Manchester and the 5th one would probably be Brunel. Not sure yet.
Are these choices realistic?
Thanks
All opinions are greatly appreciated.

What are you applying for? I think you'll be alright. Imperial could completely go either way but i'm guessing that will involve an interview so you're in control of that [as much as you can be]. Also, assuming your predictions line up with the typical offers, but in terms of AS grades I think they are a fair set.

Imperial Mech engg. seems pretty unlikely but not impossible as it's very competitive. What are your predicted grades?

Perhaps drop UCL for an 'easier' University with lower entry requirements.

Predictions seem good enough, give it a shot. Ace the interview/test. I think over a threshold grades aren't as important and a 4A* prediction is just as good as A*AA as long as you pass the interview. Applied to imperial myself let's hope we get in :smile:
Drop imp for something else
