Predicted grades

My predicted grades are CCC, and i want to apply to Loughborough, uni of birmingham, QMUL, LJMU and uni of nottingham. I am eligible to a contextual offer but that only makes the offers BBC/BCC and For birmingham it’s BBB. I really want to apply to these but is it worth it? I ideally want to go to UOB but i don’t know how lenient they are with offers also if anyone is wondering i am apply to international relations.

Hey! It’s definitely worth applying if you really want to go to Birmingham! With your contextual offer, you'll have a good chance, especially since their offer is BBC (or BBB without it). Loughborough and Nottingham are a bit more competitive, but your contextual offer will help. For QMUL and LJMU, you’ll likely be in a safer position, and LJMU might be easier to get into.
The key thing is whether you’re confident your grades can improve. If you’re close to the required offer, they’re usually a bit flexible. Also, consider adding a “safer” uni as a backup.
