do i have a chance with these unis?
to preface this, im aware that these are very risky uni choices. i'm okay with that. i'm predicted BBB, and my GCSEs were okay (8887777666):
birmingham - AAB (offer calculator says likely)
newcastle - BBC (contextual)
loughborough (ABB)
cardiff (ABB)
RHUL (ABB)
its a big risk, but is there ANY shot of me getting into these. i dont need anyone telling me not to apply, im going to

Sure, are all of these contextual offers? If you get ABB you'd likely be admitted to all of them

only newcastle is contextual - i was worried that these unis would see that im predicted BBB rather than ABB for example and just not bother with my application

They will "bother" - it's their job. Which course are you applying for?

My guess is 3+ offers, though all apart from Newcastle will be at ABB+.

Excellent! At the grades you stated above?

I would say Birmingham is the most reputable of the universities you have offers from and is literally based in the second-largest city in the UK. Cardiff is good too but a pretty sad area to live in.
