i don’t think they lower your offer. I think they give the lowest of the common offers they give, for example if common offers for a course are A*A*A, A*AA, and AAA, you would get the AAA offer.

Note that just because your predicted grades are below the standard offer doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't apply to a given course. You may still get an offer - however it would be the standard offer (e.g. AAA). So you would still need to ultimately achieve that.

Unis don't give you an offer matching your predicted grades - they have standard offers, and you're usually advised to apply to unis where your predicted grades match the standard offer to be certain of consideration. However it can be reasonable to apply to one or two "aspirational" choices a grade above your set of offers.

If you meet the contextual criteria and the standard offer (or contextual offer) for Imperial for your course is AAA and you are predicted AAB that may still be worth including as your "aspirational" option, and focusing on other courses that are AAB (with one or maybe two below AAB) for your other choices.
