should i apply to harder unis?

I'm applying for astrophysics/physics with astrophysics. except it's physics at oxford.

I'm predicted As in physics and maths but i got straight As in the AS assessments so I'm going to get them changed to A*s once i get back to school. i haven't actually done my assessment for further maths yet. that will be in september so i can only say that i hope for at least an A prediction.

so with two A*s and an A, am i underreaching with these options

oxford: A*AA
york: AAA
edinburgh: AAA
lancaster: AAA
liverpool: ABB

I've been told I'm reaching too low with my predicted grades. (oxford, york and liverpool are on there no matter the entry requirements). i was thinking of swapping lancaster for bristol or durham (A*AA) to add another aspirational choice but is there any point? i don't actually have a preference between which i prefer so please don't tell me to choose based on that. i care more about if the ?extra? teaching quality a harder entry requirement says it has is actually worth it over a safer option.

is it safe to live in china?

for context, I'm english and have the opportunity to study in china for a year. it seems like an amazing cultural opportunity and I'm really considering it. but i have a lot of people telling me it's not safe (especially for a woman). is it genuinely that dangerous or just 'strict'? i know about the great firewall and stuff but how likely is it that a student would get into major trouble there? sorry if this is the wrong subreddit

edit: i think people mistook this as safety from theft etc. i more meant government wise for an foreigner. i don't want to be arrested by accident

在中國生活安全嗎?

為了說明背景,我是英國人,現在有機會去中國留學一年。這似乎是個絕佳的文化體驗機會,我也正在認真考慮。但有很多人告訴我那裡不安全(尤其是對女性而言)。那裡真的有那麼危險,還是只是「管得比較嚴」而已?我知道有「防火長城」之類的事情,但學生在那裡陷入大麻煩的可能性有多高呢?

paris to london security

I've been travelling around europe so i have a LOT of electronics with me. no where asks you to take electronics out except paris. everything is tucked into millions of different pockets and I'll be at security FOREVER. I'm autistic so i don't have to worry about this at the airport since we use fast track. but on the eurostar, it just skips the queue instead of going to a quieter security. please if anyone has tips on the electronics part to make taking them out and putting them back in as quickly as possible. am i best just putting them in a small bag so i can dump it all out? though i can't jump an ipad and laptop

using school work in ps?

since part of the aqa physics practicals is being able to research your own method, my teacher instead decided to get us to write up a bit of a report on a topic of our choosing. i chose black holes because it ties into my personal statement really well. but i don't know if I'm allowed to mention it when it's technically school work but also certainly not on the spec

predicted grades

i was supposed to get them two weeks ago but school have just absolutely ghosted us. I've tried emailing the headteacher and everything but no reply. i have early entry because of applying to oxford and I've just had to pay for the esat without even knowing if i have the grades to apply! what do i do? two weeks once we get back to school is not enough time to sort my grades out if they're bad.
