Help with sixth form

If I’m applying to a good sixth form and they require a grade 8 in maths but my predicted is a 6

Will they consider me, I will 100% fix up for GCSEs

I’m looking to study maths economics and computer science

Depends on the sixth form, you'll have to contact them directly. However, if they're the sort of school to require an 8 for normal maths without FM I really wouldn't be too hopeful as it does signal to me that this is a results-driven school that's very selective about the profile of their students. But the worst they can say is no, so definitely ask anyways.

from personal experience, i applied to a competitive sixth form with my predictions all 6s (bc my old school based it completely on SATs) but u need 7s and above to even be considered there, they rejected me, then on results day i called them up and then they accepted me, ended up getting three 7s, five 8s, and one 9 wayyy better than my predictions!!
