What are my chances?!

What are my chances?!Stereotypical question but I'd love some guidance!
I'm looking to study any three of the Bioscience degrees (Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Biological and Medicinal Chemistry) at University of Exeter. My predictions for A2 are around AAB/ABB. I'm doing a few volunteering placements at the moment with possible hospital work in summer, I'll also be doing a medically-related extended project this year.
With GCSEs of 2 A*s, 9As and 1B, what do you think my chances are?
If you don't think I stand a chance, why not?
Hopefully this will help others who are in roughly the same position
Thanks -

Re: What are my chances?!You have excellent GCSEs, your predicted grades are around the entry requirement (at least for straight Biological Sciences) and you have decent experience to discuss in a personal statement.
Would have thought that you stand a perfectly good chance, unless there is a glut of AAA applicants, and that can't be predicted anyway. -

Re: What are my chances?!It depends on your AS grades. If you get BBC but are predicted ABB/AAB then you aren't going to be in the best position. If you get ABB and are predicted AAB then you'll be a in a stronger position.
Your GCSEs are very good so they won't cause a problem.
