Received A*AB in Mocks but need A*AA to study Law, Help!!

I am predicted A*AB after my July mocks. I achieved a C in one of my subjects, hence the predicted B. I want to study Law and all my uni's of choice require either AAA or A*AA. I am supposed to apply by October 15th so that I can apply for Oxford. My next set of mocks aren't until after that deadline.. am I still able to apply with a predicted B? Will my applications to other uni's such as LSE be impaired by applying after my next set of mocks (in November)? Or how may I get my 6f to change my grade??

1) Its worth having one or even two choices a grade above your predictions - or A*AB for an AAA course - you may still get an offer, but be prepared for No.

2) You do not have to add all of your 5 choices when you apply for Oxford/Cambridge - you can add the other 4 choices later, as long as its before the January deadline. That gives you several more months to think carefully about your choices.

I thought you couldn’t change your application once you’ve submitted one of it. So if OP submits the predictions at Oxbridge they are gonna have to use the same prediction for their other choices

oxford will definitely require an A instead of a B
