Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

which uni should I put as firm and insurance

I have offers from all these unis to study BSc Accounting and finance
LSE - AAA
KCL - AAA
Warwick - AAB
QMUL - AAA
Royal Holloway - ABB

I wanted to put LSE as my firm and kings as insurance but they require same grades and my teachers advise against this

what would you recommend

If LSE and KCL require the same grades, it doesn't make sense to choose both of them because you either get accepted to both (and then you go to firm choice) or declined from both (so you cannot use your insurance).

Choosing 2 universities with the same grades is completely pointless, if you get the grades then your insurance will just be terminated..

Either choose Warwick or Royal Holloway as your insurance, even if you don't plan on going to them

You can put firm/insurance the same grade, but it's a gamble, since if you miss your firm you have to rely on your insurance having enough space and being willing to take you. It's possible your firm/insurance will have space, it's also possible neither will.
