What unis should I apply to for economics with average grades?
My report says I'm currently working at all Cs (Economics, Maths, Computer Science), My GCSEs were 87777665, I haven't been told my predicted grades yet but I'm wondering what unis I even have a chance of getting into right now, especially given that for the most part economics courses are quite competitive. Anyone have ideas for any unis that I have a chance of being given an offer for?

You may look at unis that have shorter histories. Many of these unis ask for grades in the B-C range. Though these unis may be less appealing than those Russell Group unis, they are still good.

Unis like Keele, Cardiff Met, Nottingham Trent, Sheffield Hallam, UWE (Bristol), Plymouth, Bournemouth, Brighton etc or the 'with Foundation' at somewhere like Surrey would be good choices. Some of their entry requirements may be a one or two grades higher than your predicted CCC grades, but its still worth applying.

Sorry I should have made it clear, I'm working AT Cs, so my predicted grades will most likely be above a C, probably Bs
