How likely am I to receive offers for engineering from unis?

I am currently in Y13 and do Maths, fm, physics and history a levels. My preds are 3xA* in maths, fm and physics and A in history. At GCSE, I got 6x9, 4x8, and 1x7 getting a 9 in GCSE maths and 8 in GCSE english language. From these grades, am i likely to receive offers from the following courses:
Engineering Science at Oxford
Aerospace Engineering at Bath
Aerospace Engineering at Bristol
Aerospace Electronic Engineering at Southampton
Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UCL
I am a UK applicant and go to a state school.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
I think it's reasonable :smile:

Note though that EE is a completely different course. Also the aerospace EE course at Southampton is basically an EE course applied to aerospace systems (e.g. avionics and such), the main aerospace degree at Southampton is the Aeronautics and Astronautics degree :smile:

Also UCL is kind of average for engineering, you can probably apply to a stronger engineering department (e.g. Imperial, Manchester, etc).

I wrote a lot about triple E in my personal statement because of a summer school (at the uni of Southampton actually) so that's why I want to study Electronic engineering in the context of aerospace. Is UCL engineering relatively difficult to get into? I only applied there because I don't think I'm getting into Imperial and UCL's triple E rankings was very good. I also live near London so if I get in, I would only have to pay tuition fees and no accommodation fees since I would live at home.

Hi @Cosmicaura7

A really useful thing to do is to go onto the universities website and take a look at their entry criteria for your Engineering courses. That way you can see what each university offers and what grades you will need to get a place on the course.

At UWE Bristol we have a large Engineering School which has recently been re-modelled. You can find the list of our Engineering courses here Engineering - Courses by subject | UWE Bristol.

I hope this helps and do let me know if you have any further questions! 🙂

Thanks,

Courtney
