Applying for Finance Degree with my predicted grades

I got my predicted grades as below:
Alevel maths -b
Alevel -psychology -c
Alevel - Business Studies -c
I want to do a finance, or accounting and finance, or a fintech degree.
Is it worth me applying to universities like Southampton or Loughborough with higher entry requirements, as i really wanted to go to either one of these. Also if i apply and then reject me, can I still apply through clearing to them.
Also i am looking reading, Portsmouth. Those are my safer options, but still no sure if I will get in to any of these.
What happens if all 5 uni's reject you, can you apply again for another uni, or you have to wait for clearing.
Any advice on these questions.

I think some are asking for AAB, or ABB, are these too high.
Can I email the universities then beforehand to see what they think before I apply.
Also are there are finance degrees with lower entry requirements

Hi,
Reading offer a foundation year across finance, you can find out more here.
I did a foundation year in business and management and it was great, Reading is a place where everyone is supported and our foundation year only requires CCC! within the year you are taught all you need to know to excel in your degree and it bridges that gap between a levels and a degree, you will receive personalised support to achieve your best!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Kind Regards,
Sid

Hi! It's so great to see you're thinking of Southampton 🥳
I can only repeat what others have said here - if you apply to universities and you're rejected by all, you'll need to wait until Clearing to go through that application process. But also, yes you're right, you'll be able to apply through Clearing to one of these universities if you get the grades they're looking for in Clearing and if they have space. I say if they have space, because they might have a full course and so might not open for Clearing.
Have you considered having two lists to prepare for both outcomes?

Also, if you'd like to email the university to check about grades, the admissions contact details will be on the bottom of the course listing page for you! 🤩
Good luck!

Thanks, just in case I do get through clearing, will i get space for accommodation on campus, as its applying late

Hi @gavss7777 ,
Yeah, so if you apply through Clearing, you still get guaranteed accommodation in Halls of Residence, as long as you apply for it within the deadline the University sets, and they would inform you of this. This was the case for me, personally, as I came to Southampton through Clearing.
Hope this helps!
