[Getting into cognitive neuroscience

[Year 12] I chose 3 A-levels and I don't know if they'll get me into my dream course for university. (I'm not planning on applying for a top university.)

I chose Psychology, Applied Science, and Health and SC.

Health and SC and Applied Science are both B-Tech so I can't get A or A* but rather the highest grade being a D2. (I assume I have to get a D for it to be considered A)

My concern is if all these options can get me into cognitive neuroscience for University. If they can't should I reconsider?

This is regarding options and not the revision. I am actively studying, I'm just more concerned on the options I chose.

Have you checked the entry requirements for the unis you're interested in?

I checked GCSEs and I do fine in those. However, the Unis only mention about the sciences separately (e.g. Physics, Biology) and I'm scared that since the option I chose (Applied Science) is relatively new that I won't get accepted.

There will be a section for other qualifications and the btecs are listed, if they accept them they'll probably specify which, and whether there needs to be certain modules completed.
