UCAS predicted don't match uni

I was predicted a 36 but dropped to a 35. My uni choices have 2 aspirational ones asking for a 39 and 2 asking for a 36 and 1 safety at 32. Question is how far do I have in chances of getting an offer. I was told I have a very strong personal statement, and I'm applying for History undergrad in Scotland and England + I'm an international student. What do you think? I still have my official exams to perhaps jump to a 39 (that is my plan) and possibly go into clearing for my top choices... Though if in a few weeks they don't answer I might use extra or idk. I'm worried.... I also have history at grade 7

EDIT My teachers made a mistake and gave me 2 core points instead of 3!!! I have a 36 YAYYYY

EDIT 24/2/25 I got an offer from both Edinburgh and Manchester!!!!

If you think you can get 39 then those choices are fine as long as you have some safer choices too

Do your HL subject grades match their specific requirements - this is usually more important then overall points.

I have 1 safe choice @ Nottingham. Do you think it's better to have 2? I have Manchester and Kings asking for a 36 and the other 2 is Edi and LSE for a 39.
