Be aware that CS is a very competitive course, and these are all very competitive Unis. Thousands of people apply for each of these courses every year (yes, thousands), and many of those who meet or even exceed the entry requirements will not get an offer. This means that you could get no offers at all, or maybe only one or two, and possible both at very high grade requirements.

I would suggest that you apply to just Cambridge and one or two of the other choices now, and leave the other choices blank. You can then add any outstanding choices before the January deadline with no disadvantage - this might mean you could make the last two choices more strategic / lower grade choices if needed. Recommended.
