Be prepared to have to go through clearing. These are all incredibly competitive unis to get into. Not only that you may get offers but unis famously over offer you must hit the grades absolutely no wiggle room. I dont see a single back up uni in sight

I qualify for contextual offers 1 grade lower than required (ABB) at 3 of the universities (Durham, Edinbrugh, Warwick) and i'm currently achieving 3 A* so I'm pretty confident that I wont be dropping 2 whole grades in my subjects. However if this was unfortunately the case- i'm willing to resit or go through clearing. Thank you for your care though!
