Economics University Applications

GCSEs:
9A*s, 1A, 1B

Predicted grades:
A* - maths
A - economics
A - chemistry
A - AS further maths

A in German at AS level also.

How should I spread my university applications for economics with these predictions? I'd like to go to a university in a city not too far from Birmingham (but not in Birmingham). I think I'd also like a course with the option to spend a year abroad or in a work placement, and perhaps one which combines economics with another subject such as management or politics.

These are the universities I've been considering but I'm not sure how to narrow them down or if I'm not spreading my applications over a wide enough range of possible offers:
1. LSE (A*AAA)
2. Warwick (A*AA)
3. UCL (A*AA)
4. Nottingham / York (A*AA-AAA)
5. Leeds (AAA) / Bristol (AAA) / Manchester (AAB)

As I'm predicted A*AA, if I apply to a uni with an A*AA-AAA offer, would I get the higher band of that offer - assuming I got an offer (i.e. A*AA as opposed to AAA)?

Many thanks for any help :smile:
