Personally, I would change at least one of those, maybe two, because your absolute lowest entry is AAA for Manchester and the rest are A*AA. Econ is very competitive and I would recommend applying to at least one with lower entry requirements (think ABB, Cardiff/Reading etc) to ensure that you have at least one offer in the bag. I’m sure you’re absolutely capable of achieving A*AA, but I wouldn’t recommend heaping that pressure on yourself where you need AAA to get any place at all. Choosing one safe backup might be better, but your call 👍
