Uni choices

hi, I’m hoping to do eng at uni (rlly want to do aerospace or mechanical but I will settle for mechatron ice (anything other than chemical or civil))

I do maths physics and criminology A level (yes I am aware its not amazing for engineering, year 11 me was an idiot) with an A achieved in EPQ (not got predictions yet but I’ll need to lock in to improve them)

I’m currently hoping to apply to Leeds and Sheffield for mech, aero (specifically Leeds’) or mechatronics but idk if I’ll be able to ge good enough predictions.

i really want to go to a russel group uni so could anyone give me advice/ suggestions for other unis.

thanks!!
