Tiffin boys 6th form application

If I am a girl applying to tiffin for 6th form with predicted grades adding up to 65 points:
9
8
8
8
8
8
8
8
Do I have a chance of getting a conditional offer. In the real thing I will probably get 4 or 5 9s but my prediction is only that

I’m planning on doing further math math physics and either economics or Spanish. There are less girls on these subjects so would this impact my application

If it’s an only boys school then probably not?

It’s mixed in 6th form so I was wondering if I have more chance of getting accepted as I’m a girl and they need to accept more girls. I am also planning on doing math further math physics and economics or Spanish and there are less girls in this field. Would this have any weight

they don't need to accept more girls? there is no requirement for a school to accept girls, just because they allow girls to come? you need an average of 8.5 in your best 8 subjects at GCSE to be accepted, I am not sure what they base it off, predicted or the real grades but yeah you need an average of 8.5 in ur best 8.

Hey I applied last year so can help with this!!
Yes your grades are good enough to get in theoretically as they will be looking for an average of 8.
However if I'm honest it's quite random who gets in. Their application process is very strange and I know people with a predicted average of exactly 8 who got in and some with pretty much all predicted 9s who didn't. The subjects might give you a better chance but I think if you really want to go your best shot is going to the actual school on results day and asking for a place. I know people who did this and got in.
