Cardiff and Queens definitely because they care more about GCSEs maybe KCL too because they are quite holistic but competitive also Liverpool is a good option

I don’t think Sheffield as despite the EPQ their cut off in 2024 was 2680 which is about 2010 but Leeds should be fine as they do also factor in GCSEs and their cutoff in 2025 was 2570 which roughly converts to what you got I would say tho to be as strategic as possible try and make sure you are 100 over the cut off if possible

Okay, I will take that advice onboard.
My school makes me apply by this Friday. Do you think I should email the admissions and ask?

I am thinking Leeds, Liverpool, Queens beflfast, Cardiff.

My dad is reluctant and would prefer me to go to Sheffield over Cardiff. Not sure why? I think it may be more expensive living in Cardiff

That’s really good to know. I will do some emailing and see what else I can find out. But I will likely put Cardiff down then.
