Applying for Imperial Medicine with A*AB?

I would like to apply for medicine and I am looking at Brunel, QMUL, UCL and Imperial. My predicted grades are likely to be A*AB. My GCSEs are 9988888866.

On the UCAS website, if you scroll down on the course you have selected you are able to see how many were accepted based on their grades.

For Imperial Medicine, their requirements are minimum of AAA and if you scroll down the course and put in your grades it states that 49% of students were accepted and when I put A*AB the percentage didn't change.

Does this mean that Imperial take equivalents depending on how well you do on the UCAT and contextuals etc?

In my experience lots of unis use predicted grades as the first cut off point so if they have AAA as there requirements don’t bother because they often don’t budge on that

For UCL, I am eligible for their contextual offer of AAB and I feel that I might be eligible for Imperial aswell but it is not as clear on their website. For QMUL, my friend who lives a 10 minute walk away from me got a contextual offer from there for Law of AAB; so I might also be eligible for it. On the QMUL website, it says that I nor my friend are eligible for a contextual yet he still got one as it stated "may not be eligible" so I feel there is still a chance.
