Btec Extended Diploma + 2 A Levels for Top Unis?

check whether the universities accept the BTEC. Nearly all will but a couple dont.

Hi,
I am taking the BTEC Extended Diploma Course (equivalent to 3 A levels). Alongside I also will take A-level Math's and A-level Physics.
I am predicted (DDD) and (AA)
I am looking to apply for Mechanical or Nuclear Engineering at, Edinburgh, UCL, Cambridge, Manchester, Sheffield. As well as All American Ivy Leagues (I thought it would be funny)
However, ignoring the American part. What Schools, should I completely cross of my list. They all are decently Vague and only really mention other Btecs and not Extended Diplomas.
Many Thanks,
Noah

I have just done a check and the universities you are looking at require higher than DDD. You are likely to be rejected.

Why are you doing an Extended Diploma and 2 A levels - thats the equivalent of FIVE A levels.

My Extended Diploma course only gives me DDD at max. Then most Unis require A level maths for engineering. then because I cant get higher than DDD I am also going to do A level Physics to make up for this

"My Extended Diploma course only gives me DDD at max."
Then it isnt a BTEC Extended Diploma.

In principle Cambridge consider it although you may be less competitive. UCL may be similar? I think the others probably will accept it.
I'd note that UCL is not especially renowned for engineering (it's kind of infamous for getting negative student feedback for it on here actually...), and I'm not super aware of Edinburgh for an engineering perspective. I'd suggest looking also at Birmingham and Leeds which are well regarded for engineering generally and offer nuclear engineering (which few UK unis do). Lancaster also offers nuclear engineering I think. Beyond that other generally good unis for engineering (presumably for the mechanical side) include Bristol, Southampton, Loughborough, and Strathclyde. Bath may also be a good option (although I'm more aware of them for civil).
Why does your course not give D* results? I thought that was standard across BTECs (hence the requirement for some of those unis you listed).

It is a Btec Extended Diploma, it is just not a National Btec Extended Diploma, which would give D*D*D*
