Friend cheated to get into Cambridge?

So essentially a girl in my friend group got ABD in her end of Y12 exams (AS). Her GCSEs were good but mainly 7s and 6s with a 5 dotted here and there and a couple of 8/9s. She resat the exam she got the D in and cheated on this exam only to get a C.
Long story short, the school has raised her predicted grades to A*A*A from ABD PURELY because she applied to Cambridge. I just think this is so unfair when I know kids in our year who did better than her and got worse predicted grades because they aren’t applying to Cambridge, and the kids that ARE applying have to compete with someone who basically didn’t deserve their predicted grades.
Does anyone else think this shows how flawed the predicted grade system is? Some schools can be so lenient and even within our school oxbridge candidates are coddled even if realistically they have no chance. I don’t even know what to say to this girl, I think it’s ridiculous that she’s only applied to AAA and above when she KNOWS what she truly is capable of. Anyone else think she’s being ridiculous?

I think you should just stick your nose out of other peoples business and worry about yourself dont be jealous

Yeah, what your school’s done is low, but it’ll catch up with her. If her subject requires an admissions test she’ll probably fail it and won’t even get an interview. And even if does get an interview and they give her an offer, she’ll likely miss those grades by far and lose her place.

It is your friend's business and it isn't in your place to say anything. Even if her predicted grades are raised higher, universities will look at other aspects of her application too. Even after that, she still need to get the grades when assessment and exams come around.

Would the cheating not be noted on her academic record too?

Why don't you apply for Cambridge then? Not unfair at all, nothing is stopping you from getting the same treatment.

Nothing to do with me because I just didn’t like the place but because it’s so competitive i think it’s unfair that a kid at another school with the same grades as her would be brushed aside purely because they go somewhere else!

If she wants to delude herself and have everything crumble around her on results day... let her.
Were these actual AS exams in which she got ABC? In which case Cambridge would probably know that something was up.

They do this type of thing in every school. The teachers always do everything they can to help the students get into the Universities they want.
