Insurance choices

Kings is offering bbb for social sciences ( I also did k+) I’m going to firm but not sure if i should put Queen Mary (bbc) as my insurance is it too risky. My other option I’m considering is Westminster (ccc) for insurance but if I don’t get into kings I would not like to go there
Any advice please is appreciated

Thank you for the reply. I actually applied as it being an extra back up and I don’t mind Westminster especially their course sociology and criminology. I attended a couple of workshops from Westminster so I roughly got an idea of how teaching is like but I get what you’re saying. Not the end of the world I really like their course doubts are probably coming from the fact that I haven’t heard much about Westminster and the course personally except for workshops from professors I’ll probably look into it Queen Mary however I have and know someone taking the same course
Maybe I’m overthinking it and can achieve bbb 🫩

yes, you are probably overthinking..
and depending on the cohort , they may also let u in even if u miss the offer conditions by a grade or 2 since social science isnt as competitive than say engineering related or medicine so yeah, you will prob be going to kings if u firm it, but worst case scenario, u would go to queens if u insure it.
good luck for ur a-levels :smile:
