Biology/biological sciences BSc

Hi I am in year 13 and applying for biology/biological sciences at:
University of Bristol AAA
University of Birmingham ABB
University of Exeter BBB
University of Warwick AAB
University of Southampton ABB
I have achieved an A* in my EPQ (biology related topic) and am predicted AAB. The only issue is my B prediction (read my other post about why my teachers won’t bump it to an A even though I believe I am worthy of an A prediction). I am still trying to bump my grade up and am aware with this prediction I definitely won’t get an offer from Bristol as it’s AAA and my application doesn’t look great to other unis as my B is in biology. I don’t know what to do as I feel I will definitely be able to achieve an A in my alevels but without the prediction I feel disheartened as Bristol is my top choice. I was just wondering if anyone who got offers for biology at any of these unis would mind letting me know what their predicted grades were. Thanks.

Will your EPQ not bring up your UCAS points? I feel like Bristol still might consider you since you have an A* in your EPQ, cause with the combination of points from your AAB and your A*, I’d imagine you’d have enough UCAS points to qualify for the course. Maybe email admission and check if they consider EPQs?
