Im stuck!

I wanted to apply to Imperial, UCL and Queen Mary as my top 3 unis (which I would apply all 5 applications to those three) and the minimum grade entry was AAB (lowest from Queen Mary).

However I did so bad in my predicted, like unbelievably bad, probably BBD/BBC an I feel like most if not all my options are done for, and I don't want to apply anywhere else. At this point I may apply all 5 applications for Queen Mary alone, for courses that have a foundation year. Yet even with those they require a grade minimum of CCC, and that D is really biting at my confidence at applying. Is it risky applying only for Queen Mary?

Granted my personal statement is stacked since I did a lot of outreach programmes and university schemes, and I'm doing the Cambridge chemistry Challenge soon. I also did a lot of research into my field of choice. SO IS THERE STILL HOPE FOR ME?
when i was in year 12, a lot of people at my school asked the teacher if they could do a resit paper for their mocks (only the minority (3 people on a fail grade) who weren't happy with their mock grade), in order to boost their predicted grades.

also in my school, your predicted grades cannot be any lower than your target grade, so you might wanna ask your head of sixth form if your school follows that same logic/process 🙂

hope this helps!!
