Hi @anoop12

It's great that you're already thinking ahead about university and have your first set of predicted grades. An A in Maths and Physics is fantastic, and even though Computer Science is currently at a C, there's still plenty of time to aim for higher.

When applying through UCAS, you can choose up to five universities/courses. A good strategy is to:

Pick 1 aspirational choice a course where the entry requirements are slightly above your predicted grades.

Choose 2 or 3 solid options that match your predicted grades.

Include 1 or 2 safe choices with entry requirements slightly below your current predictions.

Hope that helps and best of luck with your studies! 🙂

Seems an odd choice when you are struggling with CS at A level?
