Those are both A grade material at AS right? I'm sure you can get an A*. Are your teachers strict about the predictions?
Yeah they're really strict, I think the cutoff for A* in biology is 270 and for chemistry it's 275 I'll ask them some more but I doubt I'll get the predictions

Oh, what a shame. Good luck with your medicine application, I hope you get an offer for medicine.
Do you think most people applying to UCL have more than A* prediction? Because I think I can only get 1 at a maximum... if that The fact that they like contrasting subjects suits me because I did French for AS but I guess there isn't much point applying if my grades aren't enough haha
Why don't you ring them up and ask? They say that a high score is in AS is advantageous but that doesn't mean that they'll automatically reject you as you might have other qualities that put you above other candidates. I'd say it would be risky if you'd got B's but since you haven't, I think it's worth calling them up and asking for their view.
Some guys in my school with the same situation have called & emailed UCL, and they said you'd be automatically rejected so I don't know :/
Well if you definitely know that you'd be rejected for not having A* predictions then I guess its not worth applying then. You could work on getting the predicted grades higher but that's all I'm afraid. There are plenty of great medical school though so don't worry!
What are the chances of someone applying with A*A*A (A2 already achieved) and 1 A* at gcse? let's say bmat is 5+ for each section.
How many A's? I'd say ring up UCL and ask them whether it disadvantages your application and if so by how much. On their selection procedure they've just said that GCSEs give an indication of candidate's background and AS grades are more important. But they do like to have well rounded applicants with strengths in subjects other than just sciences. So i'm not sure what they'd think.
