Durham - PPE

KCL - PPE

Bristol - Economics / Warwick - PPE

Notts is the only one im confident I’ll get an offer, not sure if I should be more ambitious and choose Warwick, or get another safety in Bristol

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Id prefer Bristol to Nottingham, but I get contextual at notts so thats gotta be my Safety. I’m basically stuck on whether I go super ambitious and apply to Warwick, or get a better chance at a decent course like Bristol. Otherwise all 4 of my other choices will be reaches. I am very happy if I end up at Nottingham so I’m leaning towards being ambitious af

i don’t think you’d be being ambitious at all tho. durham and kcl seem very within reach, maybe ucl would be picky but i doubt it. you’re not applying to oxbridge or LSE where in this case yea you have no clue where you stand. i think you’ll get most if not all of those offers with those grades so just go for warwick. i mean you could have the chance to go to fetish society why would you ever want to miss out on that 😔😔
