am i good enough for history and french

Am looking to study HIstory with French at a top uni, Cambridge/Durham etc.
Currently studying French, History and G&P at A-level. I also did a Scottish higher in French and German. Wondering whether these grades are good enough? Also, how much does having German higher improve my chances, as it increases my UCAS points. Worth knowing that my French is nearly fluent as I lived in France during my childhood.

Predicted A-levels:
French: A*
History: A*
G&P: A*

GCSE's (disappointing):
French: A*
English lit: A
English lang: A
Maths; A
German A
History A
Biology B
D&T B
Chemistry A

Cambridge interviews most people, so you will probably be interviewed - whether you get an offer depends on how well you do at interview,

You will probably sit an admissions test - this also has a large say on whether you get an offer

GCSEs don't matter much for Cambridge

Of course you are, bro. Don't let anyone tell you different. Let's go for a drink when you get to Durham, yeah?
