UCAS predicted grades

hi everyone,
i just got back my ucas predicted (BBC but trying to shift some things around atm), am i able to apply for unis with BBB or is that not really an option?
im not elegible for any contextual offers because of the borough i live in even though im not that well off but im struggling to find some good unis that meet bbc since its a bit of a random group of grades.
thank youu

Yes, you can still apply to choices with a standard offer slightly higher than your predictions.

You might still want to have 1 or 2 options around BBC though. Or apply to four choices first, then add another by the Jan deadline hopefully having had some decisions by then.

Check the Contextual offer criteria carefully on each Uni's website - each one will be different and it will be far more nuanced than just which Borough you live in, so don't just assume that you are not eligible.

The usual advice for your 5 UCAS choices is :

•

1 choice just above your predicted grades - 1 grade and not in a vital subject
