Aspirational unis for philosophy or politics courses
Hi
I have AAC predicted grades (Philosophy, Geography,Math).
Expect better grade in math on final exam (gcse 8)
Most of unis list AAB or ABB as entry level grades. Not sure which higher ranked I can use as an aspirational choice. Advice appreciated. Many thanks

Its worth risking at least one AAB choice, possibly two, as Philosophy is not a competitive subject and you are likely to receive offers. Just make sure that your other choices are more realistic and that you have at least one BBB choice.

Which AAB courses interest you? I don't think philosophy is oversubscribed at all.
