sorry i accidentally posted without finishing typing 😢. My school is referring to these circumstances in my reference letter. My predicted grades are A*A*AA in economics, maths, psychology, and further maths (which i’m self teaching myself because further maths conflicted with psychology in my schools timetable). I go to a fee-paying boarding school, which performs above average but my A-levels are much higher than the average in my cohort, am an overseas student. I’m applying to: LSE finance, UCL economics, Imperial finance economics and data science, Bristol finance, and Warwick MORSE.

I have a great PS. I know these choices are a stretch but i’ve already applied, I just want to know if I have any chance at all of getting any offers.

Do your grades meet the entry requirements? If so, then why wouldn't you have a chance of getting offers?

Why would they require grades ABOVE their own requirements? That doesn't seem right at all.
