Uni Application

If I have three Bs predicted and I intend to get As in my actual exams, am I likely to get accepted to unis where the grade requirements are AAA? I have also scored A* in an EPQ.

I would advise seeing if you can get those predicted grades bumped up. It may be difficult to get an offer when you are three grades below the entry requirements.

The teachers are set on changing them as I didn't do too well in my mocks - anything you suggest I ask?

Applying to any course where you are 3 grades off the entry requirements will guarantee you a swift rejection. One grade below maybe, but any course asking for 3 A grades is competitive, and even that is risky.

Two grades above predictions is as high as I usually recommend. Even then you should have some safer choices.
