What do I need to get for my predicted grades?

I’m in y12 rn and I want to apply to Cambridge economics.
The minimum grade requirement is A*A*A, so realistically, do I have to get 4 A*s to get an offer?
Do most Cambridge economics applicants get 4A*s or 3A*s for their predicted grades?
If I get A*A*AA or A*A*A*A, would that make my chance of getting in really low?

UCAS has an option on the course to see the average grades of those accepted and compare them to yours, if you scroll to the very bottom of the course page you can input your own potential grades for comparison. Picture below with random grades already put in

You'll be fine with either A*A*AA or A*A*A*A, but it is better to do better with three than worse with four.
