should I apply for Economics AAB?

Hi I'm in year 12 and hoping to study Econ at uni

My current predicted grades are:
Maths - A*
Further Maths - A
Econ - A*
Geography - A*

I'm thinking of applying for
x2 A*A*A unis
x2 A*AA unis
x1 AAA uni

do you think this is a sensible choice? and do you think I should apply for a AAB uni to be safe?

You can't just say ‘A*A*A’; what universities? But, yes, I would recommend having an AAB uni as your insurance, but if you’re confident, then AAA should be okay. However, I would make sure that the uni with AAA isn’t that competitive; for example, don’t apply to like Bristol just because it’s AAA; it’s still very competitive.

Bristol is A*AA but the AAA uni I wanted to apply for was Bath (is Bath highly competitive?)

Bath is competitive, yes

The course is very good at bath , the grade requirements don’t equate to the quality of the course (you may still want to pick bath). For your 5th make sure it’s not at a very competitive uni, because economics is notoriously competitive. I’d probably go for Glasgow, Exeter, Newcastle, Cardiff ect. for the 5th as they aren’t as competitive but still very good.
