advice on warwick uni course and predicted grades

i’m in year 13 and i’m using 2/5 of my choices on ucas to apply to warwick. i’m super eager to receive an offer and it works out for me location wise and it’s a uni which offers course which really suit my interests. i take physics, english lit + lang, and computer science, and i’m predicted ABC. i’m applying for the politics and sociology course as well as the sociology course. sociology asks for ABB whilst having BBB as the lowest according to ucas, and politics and sociology asks for AAB with BBB being the lowest. would this C be bothersome in this case? the grade is in computer science which i didn’t take in GCSE, this is the reason why i’ve been predicted this. i did underperform in my mocks due to health reasons, so my predicted are based off of performance of year 12. any advice would be helpful!

If you underperformed in any exam due to any personal factors, your teachers should write it in your reference and that could get you a more contextual offer. I think you should go for it and apply but make sure you have 1 option that fits your grades (try to find BBB courses) and one safety (BBC/BCC). Be careful with what UCAS shows with the average entry requirements as they also include people with major contextual offers and aren't always too accurate. I hope everything goes well and good luck!
