Medicine at Cambridge UNI ADVICE PLSSS

Hi so I got 2 9s and the rest 8s for my GCSES
I'm in year 12 rn
I got predicted A*A*A* for biology chemistry and maths.
Is there any chance that they'll still accept my offer since i know there are other people that get WAAY better in their GCSES and still dont get in?
I do extracurriculars such as running a society at school, taking part in acting competitions, piano grade 6, dance (not graded) and have done a few work exp placements too..
Im just thinking about Unis and am wondering if Cambridge is still in reach for me essentially.
I know they also look at the cohort, and I go to quite an academic private school- most students have fairly high grades! So I’m not sure if my grades would look bad.

How have you been given your predicted grades if you’re in Year 12? Are you sure these aren’t initial predicted grades or target grades? Most schools will finalise predicted grades towards the end of Year 12 or beginning of Year 13 once students have completed either formally assessed internal or external examinations (e.g. end of year exams, AS levels). Your GCSEs are not an issue here. As for your extra curriculars, they will be of no interest to Cambridge. They value super curriculars, which are activities you’ve done outside of school to demonstrate an academic interest in your subject. If your work experience is in healthcare then this may be of some relevance, but even for vocations like medicine, they’ll be looking for evidence of intellectual engagement and critical thinking, which can be shown through things like wider reading. Cambridge look at your GCSEs in the context of your school and consider any extenuating circumstances you may have. If the average student in your school obtained majority 9s at GCSE then you may look weaker in comparison but not by much. The difference is certainly not noticeable enough for it to put you at a major disadvantage. Your GCSEs only make up one portion of your application - your UCAT, personal statement and interview are likely to be far more important than having majority 8s with the odd 9 at GCSE. It’s a misconception that having good GCSEs will get you into Cambridge, just as it is that having “bad” ones will result in an instant rejection. Correlation, not causation.

thank you so muchh that was so helpful!!
yeah we get a set grade now but till april we have the chance to improve it and then they tell us our actual predicted after our mocks
