UCL psychology with edu be psychology bsc

I am very interested in pursuing a BSc in Psychology; however, it is insanely competitive, with an offer rate of only about 10%.

In contrast, BSc Psychology with Education requires predicted grades of AAA and has a much higher offer rate of 49%.

My predicted grades are A*AA, and my teacher believes I have a strong personal statement, (tho I disagree lmao)

Given that, is it a wise choice to take risk and pursue traditional BSc in Psychology instead of Psychology with Education?

Thanks

Would you actually care for the education aspect of psychology with education? Would you be missing out on modules you'd like to take by choosing psychology with education? If so I'd go for pure psychology.

The psych and education one is accredited so it would cover all the basic stuff however the options are vastly different as it covers more developmental/education stuff so if you would be interested in that then why not. Think of it like this would I be comfortable and excited about learning about different learning disability and how it affects peoples education styles or learning about memory and how it affects people
