2 a levels & a btec - can I get into russell group unis?

I’m not currently planning on going to uni right now but incase I do, would good unis (including russel group unis) accept 2 a levels and a btec level 3 instead of 3 a levels? Is there a good chance of me being chosen over someone else with 3 a levels?

I’ve just started year 12 and chosen psychology, history and dance. I still have time to change my options but i’m conscious that if i carry on with btec dance I may not get into a first choice uni.

Dance. My other a levels are psychology and history. Because they’re heavily essay based with lots of content i thought taking dance will make exam season a lot easier because i enjoy it. There is 20% coursework in history but still 2 written exams. I was thinking about taking media studies as it’s an a level and people says it’s easier than other subjects but some say it’s boring so i’m unsure. it’s also 30% coursework which would take the weight off of exam season. I also thought about sociology but i’m not sure if it’s worth taking. It’s also 100% exam based and lots of content + essay subject so i’m not sure.
