    Some UEA applicants might have slightly higher grades, others will have similar ones to you. But that doesn't really matter - as long as you meet the requirements (which you do), then you could get in.

    If you're worried that your grades might not set you apart enough, then you need to make sure that you have a really strong personal statement and reference. Also, UEA sometimes does interviews, and so if they're not sure about your application you might get called for one - if that happens, it'll be another great chance to show them why you're suited for the programme.
