Warwick, Bath, Manchester and KCL are all aspirational
Bristol is a solid choice
Are you considering any safe options (maybe at AAB or below) or would you rather take a gap year and resit if you didnt make any of these choices?

Realistically I wouldn’t want to go to any back up options so I was thinking to go through clearing worst case because most top Computer science universities are all A* A* A

Totally understandable, sounds like a great plan 🙂

by illustrious-jackDo you think I would get instantly rejected from imperial as they also take the TMUA, assuming I can get 3 A*s predicted and if I got a high TMUA score
On what basis? If you meet their entry requirements its probably worth a try

Well imperial is very difficult to get into and would be a dream for me, just not sure how my poor GCSEs would affect my chances and if it would be worth risking a UCAS slot considering I am already applying to top universities.
The only way I see myself getting in is with a very high TMUA score and as I am taking it in January I would have already submitted my UCAS so I would be risking applying to imperial without seeing my TMUA score

At the end of the day, youre only gonna end up going to one of your 5 choices so if you wanna go to imperial then id give it a shot!
