Update on UCAS Application

Hi all. I ended up applying to Bath, Manchester, York, Reading for straight econ and Bristol for econ and finance with AAA predicted. I left out nottingham as it was also A*AA however, i heard that they are more lenient with the offers. This checks out on various offer databases for this year. Should i replace one of my options with nottingham or should i keep my options as they are if my goal is to break into IB.
