Maths in particular is the one course where they don't care about GCSEs whatsoever. You got the A* in maths, they care about nothing else. You have frankly amazing UMS in maths and further, so I'd bet vast quantities of money you'll get an offer/interview. Just focus on doing STEP questions (god they're a bitch...) and if you start now you should be in a position to achieve your best by then (June I think?) which are the most important part of your offer (A*s in maths and FM is practically a given for you I'd assume).

Perhaps a slight disadvantage but you have econ which is still respected. Most importantly you have double maths (and amazing UMS) so you're a very strong candidate.
