Management and Marketing Undergrad (Uni Shortlist)

I am an international student currently in Year 13, and I am still unsure about my university shortlist. I have changed my mind quite a lot of times and because of that, I'm still not able to choose 5 universities. In my longlist, I have 7 unis (Bath, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Exeter, Leeds, Lancaster, Loughborough) Can everyone tell me which 5 universities should I put in my application list based on their reputation, teaching quality, employment rates, the city itself, etc.. ? I have read all of the modules of all 7 unis and I liked them all so it's quite hard for me to take out 2 unis. I would appreciate it if everyone could share their advice and opinions regards this issue.

You need a range of different grade requirements to maximise your chances of offers.
The usual advice is :

1 or 2 choices just above your predicted grades.

2 or 3 at your predicted grades

At least 1 choice well below your predicted grades.


On YouTube you can find campus tour films etc for those Unis and that will give you an idea of what those Unis look like - and you will also be able to find 'tourist' films for the cities.

What subject are you applying for?

Check that you meet any extra (GCSE etc) Maths requirements on each course page - applicants often overlook this and its essential for Marketing and/or Management degrees.
