UCL? Predicted AAA

I achieved AAA in my AS exams, and was predicted AAA. Is there still a chance for me to get into UCL?

Obviously not, since their offer for medicine is A*AA and there will be hundreds of other people applying with that or better. They have no reason to pick you when you don't meet the offer, when hundreds of other people do. Last year there were 7 applicants per place: 'Applications per place 7 (2016 entry)', so it's not going to happen. There are plenty of good medical schools that take AAA, apply to them.

Thanks, tbh I knew that. I just need to learn to accept reality 😂.
Since you got AAA in AS then can't you ask at least one of your teachers to predict you an a* in either bio or chemistry?

I really think I can in chem since it's my favourite subject and I'm reading ahead, and it's the only subject I truly believe I could get an A* in, but I guess my teacher doesn't believe in me lol. I asked today, but he isn't going to change it anytime soon.

I'm going to talk to my biology teacher tomorrow. Fingers crossed it goes well 😩.
