ok i dont think i explained this well enough. is it worth doing the foundation year at a slightly better uni when i can get into decent unis without it.

You’ve explained.

My answer is that you don’t even know if you will get offers yet. I would recommend that you apply, see what offers you get, visit the universities that you get offers from and then decide what to do from next April.
