Economics with achieved grades

I have the achieved grades of A*A*A*A in Maths, Geography, Economics and Further Maths. My current choices are economics at Cambridge, LSE and Warwick, with EFDS at Imperial and MORSE at Warwick. Can I expect to be accepted into any of these with my current grades, or is a more safe option needed? I was thinking of UCL Economics as their entry requirements are A*AA, but I'm not sure if I'm hindered by my further maths grade. Any advice?

All applicants applying to these universities will have similar grades or even higher, so to stand out it will really depend on your performance on admission tests, personal statement, interview performance, etc. All the unis you’ve listed are very very competitive so even an applicant with good grades like u may get rejected. So i would really recommend applying to some safety universities as well.

Which option would you recommend swapping, and for what would you swap it for?

These universities all have a somewhat similar acceptance rate so I feel like it would be good to swap out two of them for a university with a higher acceptance rate. I can't tell you which universities to remove and which to add as that depends on your desires and what you want from the course, but i think having two or even three safety options would be a good choice. Also note that UCL is also extremely competitive so i wouldn't really count it as a safety.

Don't submit all 5 choices at once. Hold one back until you've had some responses, but before the equal consideration deadline. That way you will know whether you need a safer option or not.

Good idea, thank you for your help.
