Going to the big4 accounting from a non russell group university

I am a going to Uni of Lincoln to study Accounting and finance. I have already accepted the offer and liked the course. My main worry is that when I graduate it will be harder to get a grad role in the big 4 than other unis. This is because I read on different forums different answers. So initially I need to know if I do have a chance.

The university you go to will make basically no difference. Your A level grades might.

Big 4 firms use hireview, behavioural and analytical assessments to filter candidates for assessment centres.
