So I only did 1 external AS level (maths) and got 282/300, which comes to about 94% average. Is this really good enough because ive heard people saying that most applicants to Trinity have 95+UMS. I also got a D in General Studies. My predicted grades are 5A*(with EPQ). Do I have a realistic chance? I appreciate any replies, I'm very worried. (I already sent off my UCAS)

If you've already sent off your UCAS don't worry - it's not going to change anything if people say "you've got no chance!" or "you're 100% gonna get in!" so you might as well just forget about it now and focus on your school work and/or extra-curricular stuff you use to relax.

Thank you for your reply. You make a good point but id just like to know what chance I have. Lets say it turns out that my stats so far aren't competitive, it would mean that I need a high BMAT, which means that I know I need to concentrate more on it.

How long is a piece of string? We don't really have any way of knowing. This is the first year of linear a-levels so a lot of people will be in the same position.You made the decision to apply, from what you've said its not a daft one, you'll just have to wait and see now.
Take @Beska's excellent advice and focus on the BMAT etc

You should "concentrate more" on the BMAT anyway. I don't think anyone applying to medicine at Cambridge can think "oh, I don't need to try in this part of the application, I'm going to get in anyway".
I've seen many people asking questions similar to mine, and they were receiving very useful feedback from different people with very different opinions. I was hoping the same with my question. I just want opinions.
