History and Economics Uni help

I've just completed my AS Levels and I am applying for History and Economics at uni. I achieved B in History and A's in English Lit, Maths and Economics. At GCSE, I achieved 9 A*s and 4 A's.

My prospective uni choices are:
Oxford (AAA)
St Andrews (AAA)
Leeds (AAA)
York (AAA)
Keele (AAB)

What do you rate my chances for these universities and would you consider changing my list? Thanks!

Your chances for all of them are good, though for Oxford you'll need to do well in the HAT and perform well at interview...*

Why is Keele on the list?! Leeds and York are also meh. Perhaps UCL, Exeter, Bristol, Durham... All excellent choices for history.

(I'm a third year history student at Oxford, feel free to pm me with any questions)*

I accidentally clicked enter before finishing so the title should have said History and Economics, sorry! This course choice is the reason why I haven't considered Durham or UCL, surprisingly few decent unis offer it. You definetly don't think the B in History at AS is an immediate rejection though at Oxford?

I don't think a B is an instant rejection, but an A isn't a guaranteed acceptance either (if that makes sense)... Your application needs to be consistent
