University acceptances

Hiii I have grads BBC and applied to the following undergraduate courses for English:

Queen Mary university of London (English)
Queen Mary university of London (English literature and linguistics)
Brunel university university of London
City university of London
Anglia Ruskin university

Should I be worried about these unis and my grades? Like will I most likely be accepted and not put through ucas extra? <3

In that case a couple of options around BBB is perfectly sensible. The ABB courses are a bit of a push as they are two grades higher than your predictions, so I would only recommend one or the other of them - but ultimately it is up to you as to how risky you want to be. The BCC and CCC courses are likely to give you an offer so in that sense you might want to be a bit bolder with your other options if you include them.

Most unis pick up all the contextual info they need directly from UCAS. If they need anything more they’ll get in touch with you.
Hi there! 😊

First off, congrats on your applications! Your BBC grades are solid, and you’ve got a good mix of universities on your list. Speaking from a Brunel perspective, Brunel is known for its supportive admissions process. The English program here is well-rounded, with a focus on contemporary and classical literature, plus great opportunities for creative writing and professional development. Your grades are within the range many universities, including Brunel, accept, so you’re in a strong position.

Wishing you all the best 💪📚
