Are these 5 uni options good

I am currently predicted A * AB ( A* in Psychology).

I am planning to apply to LSE, KCL, UCL, Queen Mary and City

Requirements for LSE and KCL is A*AA and UCL and queen mary is AAA

I have a chance for contextual offer but not 100%, are these options safe?

My school's career advisor said I should get an offer from KCL, Queen Mary and CIty but idk how reliable that is

What subject are you applying for?
What grades do you typically work at in mocks/class tests?
What are the entry requirements for city?
If you didnt get into one of these unis what would be plan B? As in if you didnt get into one of them would you go through clearing or take a year out and reapply to these again for example
On what basis are you elegible for a contextual offer? Have you looked at their websites for info on this?
Idk the requirements for city but all the choices youve listed above are aspirational. It’s not advisable to have this many aspirational choices unless these are the only ones you’d consider accepting an offer from, as in you’d rather take a year out and reapply if you didnt get a place at one of these 5.

I’m applying to Psychology BSc for KCL and psychology with education for UCL and Psychology BSc for Queen Mary

My career advisor said I’m highly likely to get a contextual offer. I also used the Queen Mary contextual eligibility checker and it says I’m eligible for enhanced contextual offer

Good to know, I can’t really give you any more advice without you answering the rest of my questions.
Current working at grades in mocks/ class tests?
Entry requirements for city?
Contextual requirements from the unis you think youll be elegible for one at?
Plan B if you dont meet your offer from any one of these 5?
