Would it possible to still have a chance to get into Cambridge with predicted grades?

So, I am in Year 12, striving to get into Computer Science in Cambridge University.

Recently, I had received my predicted grades which are A* A A, but I am worried that since the entry requirements are A* A* A, I would not be able to have a chance to get into the university.

Would it still possible if I end up achieving A*A* A after doing my A-levels?
No, they look at predicted grades unless you've actually achieved the a levels and done the exams. They have so many applicants that they will discount anyone without the right grades. Could you persuade a teacher to give you another a*?

As Emmmaaaa says, if your predictions don't meet the basic requirements for the course then you won't be given an offer. If you can't persuade your teacher to predict A*A*A, then your only option would be to take the A levels and then apply as a post-A-level candidate if you achieve A*A*A in the actual exams, but this would mean delaying your university education by a year.
