They're fine.

It really isn't *that* difficult to get into an RG university (not that it means anything). Your subject choices look fine as well.

Depends what your predicted or actual A level grades are.

GCSE other than Maths and English tend to be less important except for the very top[ unis.

thanks for the link its very useful !
I'm currently at a Russell group university and in my GCSE I got 2A*'s 3A's 6B's and a C. I really thought that they would hold me back (meaning the number of B grades I got) but it obviously didn't
