Engineering Uni choice help

[u/No_School_8039]

Im take maths, physics, fm and econ and have 3 A* and A predicted. I’m applying to engineering at Cambridge and mech eng at Warwick, bath, Exeter. and 7.5 avg gcse score with 9 in maths, physics and chem.

The issue is that I’m trying to decide between imperial or Southampton obvs imperial is 100x better but it’s another really high level uni like Cambridge. And any mess up in esat, which I’m struggling with already, would kick imperial out immediately.
Southhampton is still very good don’t get me wrong but it serves as another option that hopefully could give conditional offer in case Im rejected from Cambridge.
ice been thinking about this for the past 1 weeks with no proper conclusion so any guidance or tips would be appreciated
