Right, so you are one grade off. You could always put it down as an aspirational choice.
Usually there are another set of mocks before UCAS applications are sent off. Work hard from September to January and hopefully your teacher will increase your prediction.
When choosing university options, I suggest:
Option 1
2 universities with slightly higher entry requirements than your predicted grades
2 universities with the same entry requirements as your predicted grades
1 university with a slightly lower entry requirement than your predicted grades
or
Option 2
1 university with a slightly higher entry requirement than your predicted grades
2 universities with the same entry requirements as your predicted grades
2 universities with slightly lower entry requirements than your predicted grades
Option 1 is better if you want to take a risk. Option 2 is better if you would rather play it safe.
This is what you should be looking for when choosing universities:
