General Eng or Maths??

Hey, I'm a bit stuck to be honest. I have done the Manchester access programme and I'm eligible for contextual offers so I basically have a golden ticket to go to the university of Manchester ( I'll get back onto that in a moment ). However, and I don't know why, i have this dream of going to KCL but if i did this I'd have to take general engineering as I don't take further mathematics which means I cant do normal math's at kings. I don't really know what I wanna do when I get older, I wanna keep my options open but I'm most interested in the field of engineering and i have been for a few years now. Also, i do want to move out for uni, believe it or not it'd be cheaper for the accommodation at KCL than Manchester and I live too close to Manchester to justify the cost.

back to Manchester, I don't know if I still have to achieve a subject specific grade, if I don't its simple, I'd only need BBB but if it is I'd still need at least an A in math's. I just don't known what to do. Sorry It's a loaded question, I just hope someone has any advice?

Apply to both unis then make a decision when you have the offers. At the moment, you do not know whether you will get into KCL,
