Anthropology Durham Odds

Hiya, I'm applying for 2025 in Durham, Bristol, Exeter, Aberdeen, and St Andrews for Anthropology. I'm wording if anyone could tell me what my odds are for these unis to get an offer for anthropology? Especially for Durham, as thats my ultimate goal :smile:
I didn't do amazingly in my IGCSE's CBBBBBA*A* (c in english language lol.....)
However, for IB I'm actually very happy with how I'm doing.
These are my current predicted grades (could change, not yet confirmed)
Eng Lit HL - 5/6
Geography HL - 6
French B - 6
Biology - 6
ESS - 6/7
Maths aa - 6
EE and TOK - 2/3 points
So overall id get around a 37/38 maybe?

Any advice would be lovely thanks !

hiya,
your odds are really good as anthropology is often undersubscribed so you have a really really good chance of going to an amazing uni + being taught by some of the best academics in the field
i could only quickly find statistics for durham, bristol and st andrews but i assume exeter + aberdeen are similar, also the stats seem to be a few years old but its probably still similar
