Uni choices help!!!

I am a year 12 and we have been told to look into which 5 ucas options to pick

I am thinking

Law, Environment and Econ at Cambridge (used to be land economy)

Politics and Econ LSE

Pure Econ UCL

Econ Politics and IR at Warwick

Econ and Politics Bristol

I don't take FM but I heard UCL only cares about TMUA score as long as u have A star maths

Ik all my choices are aspirational but I am lucky enough to be able to take a gap year (worst case scenario)

Stats are 9999988776 (Extenuating circumstances)

Hopefully 4 A stars predicted in maths chem econ and politics.

Are my choices practical and would it be worth taking TMUA when it only applies to 2 courses?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

in my opinion, UCL and Bristol are better to apply, since Cambridge and LSE aren’t quite tolerant to predicted grades (but, if Cambridge gave you conditional offer, try Cambridge)

Hi,

Your 4 A star predicted gives you really high chances with UCL, cambridge, LSE.
For TMUA, I believe it is worth taking it since these are only the predicted grades, the options are aspirational/competitive and a good TMUA score will highly strengthen your application for your university choices.
