You have a reasonable chance of an offer.

We can see in the "Historical entry grades data" section on this UCAS page that in 2023 Warwick made offers to 19 in 20 Mathematics applicants. That's obviously great. However, we can also see that the lowest achieved grades for accepted applicants were A*A*A, which isn't ideal.

When UCAS compile this data they include contextual applicants, but then remove the top and bottom 5% of the data (to avoid statistical skews). So it may well be that some contextual applicants got in with predictions and achieves grades of A*A*B - we have no way of knowing.

However, the fact they they made offers to so many applicants - who presumably all had very good grades - bodes well for you receiving an offer, as you meet the contextual requirements.

As above, Warwick maths makes offers to most applicants usually (I think the offer rate is usually around 90% most years) - however these have STEP requirements (if you don't meet the MAT requirement) that you then need to achieve. If you don't meet this on results day then I understand they tend to be very inflexible, and so a lot of their attrition comes from people not meeting all parts of the offer at the end of the day.
