Cambridge application
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and id like a honest response from someone, if you are currently in year 12 and are going to apply for unis this year, having in mind the completion of your mock exams and getting predicted lower than the grades the university of cambridge are asking for, can you still apply to the university and try to get in? Also, if you were to complete october mocks later in the year which are after the application entry, can you still let the university know and will they take it into consideration?

try and get ur teachers to bump up your predicted grades to within an acceptable level- if you really glaze I reckon you could, because most schools have predicted grades as not entirely contingent upon end of year exam grades so give it a go.
If, even with that, your grades aren't AAA at least, ur cooked

tthank you so much for replying. i tried but the current grades i achieved for my recent mocks got me a ACC maybe a ABC for predicted but other than that they won’t let me. i didn’t take these mocks seriously,, if i were to complete the october mocks and end up getting minimum AAA do you think it would be possible for my school to let the university know or no
