Want to study Law at the university of Manchester bad predicted

Hi, I am really stressed and looking for some advice here.

So basically, I had a really bad start to my A-Levels and ended up with results of UDD for my end of year mocks in Sociology, Law and Politics.
My current predicted grades are BCD and I want to be able to study law llb at the University of Manchester or Leeds or birmingham. I am aspiring for at least AAB or AAA and just wondering if anyone has been able to jump up from BCD to AAA at alevel and has done similar a-levels as me?
I know I am most likely going to take a gap year due to my predicted, my teachers will probably give me ABB or BBC or BBB depending on their moods. I just need to stop stressing, if anyone has a story similar or any advice at all on how to revise effectively or on their university journey or what i should do? Thank you :smile:

It would be worth still applying in Year 13 - you can always drop any offer/place later and reapply next year if that becomes a better option. Increasingly, Law firms are recruiting 'Uni blind' and therefore your eventual degree grade, relevant work-experience, and 'interesting person' will count for far more that the brand name of your Uni - so don't get fixated on 'RG' etc.

Realistic ABB/BBB Unis include :
Law, undergraduate courses : University of Sussex - often accept as low as BBB in August.
Law LLB | Undergraduate study | Loughborough University - new course, likely to make offers to lower grades
Surrey Law School undergraduate courses | University of Surrey - ABB
LLB Law (Hons) in Law at Oxford Brookes University - BBB
Law | Nottingham Trent University - BBC/BBB
Etc
