please please help me out - Colleges admission

Hi!

I’ve completed my year 11 mock exams and I haven’t done very well.
The colleges which I wish to go to all ask for high grades.

I have an excellent record of extracurriculars.

Is it possible that I send the college an email with my PS attached and ask them if they can look at my mock exam results which will take place in Feb/March instead?

Any help would be highly highly appreciated. Thank you.

(The deadline to submit the applications is in like Jan though)

What are your predicted grades? Won't it depend on that?

Everything related to applying to college is about your predicted grades. What are they like? Can you speak with you teachers to have them raised slightly? Colleges honestly won't care too much about extra/supercurriculars, so you really need to crack down on your grades, and potentially email your preferred colleges about whether or not you can have a place if they have spaces on the courses you want to do.

Yes, I understand.
And the grades totally matter. But can I ask the colleges to consider my Feb/March grades instead?

The colleges I’m applying to put a huge emphasis on extracurriculars though! They are looking for students with high grades and a record of being successful at taking part in extra/super-curricular activities. I’ve got one box ticked, I’m just asking them if they can consider my upcoming grades instead.

Do you think that there’s a possibility of being accepted like this?

There's definitely a possibility, but you'll need to work really hard to prove yourself, especially if the college is really oversubscribed. Just put your head down and work on your grades, and if they accept your Feb mocks, then congrats!
