Chances of getting into Kings or Bristol for Economics

I am currently in a gap year retaking a levels in economics, maths and computer science. I got BBB last year summer but I want to try get into top universities like Kings, Bristol, Nottingham. I don't know if I should retake all 3 a levels or just 2 in maths and computer science (because I already got an A in the project which will be carried forward for this year). I especially want to get into Kings. Will my chances be affected if I just retake 2 a levels instead of all 3 so I can put most of my focus onto those 2 subjects? Will Kings or bristol take an A*A*B student or is A*AA more favourable?

Unless you qualify for a contextual offer at some of these places, BSc Economics courses at good unis are so oversubscribed that you probably don't want to run the risk retaking and then not getting offers from the places you want to go to. Whether that's worth doing an extra subject in your retakes, that's up to you.
