I read further up and saw ur already predicted two As right? and I'm assuming B in chemistry. If your teachers are being stubborn don't waste any more time pushing them because we're pretty late already T-T so ya try your best these 2 days but if not just send it!!

Did you get and email from city or ucas about city receiving your application, something along the lines “Thank you for your application to City…”. On that email there’s a section that says what happens next. That’s where you find it.

Hope that helps!
