Thinking about applying to Imperial

Stats:
9888877774
(9 is in polish, 8 maths, 7 eng lang and the 4 i got for further maths)

Im currently doing econ, maths and fm
we havent got our predicted grades yet but I think they will be A*A for econ and maths
I've done the AS for fm but wont get my results until the summer but im hoping for a B/C and I think I could convince my teacher to boost me to an A/B depending what i get
Ive also done polish a level this year and getting results this summer but im guessing that wont contribute to my application much
im doing the TMUA in october and ive started revising now (if you have any tips please comment 🙏)

ive also gotten a top economics & further maths student award and im a member of the debate committee

im also considering york, nottingham, lse and some other ones

ive seen a lot more competitive applications here so Im looking for honesty and help on how I can improve, thanks for reading!!

I am a parent. I have an ex who is a lecturer at a UK University and I was having a conversation with him about universities because my son is going to be applying for 2026 undergraduate entry. His advice was aim high and have your list of choices with the best universities at the top and then the next best underneath or your preferred universities you got a feel for on open days. As for myself, reading your post, and whilst I appreciate current young generations text a lot I can't get over your lack of capital letters, punctuation and grammar. I am hoping your applications will not look like this? 'I have also done a polish a level' would read to me 'I have completed an A level in Polish'. It sounds like, from your writing, that you really are stressed and overwhelmed. I would take some time out to go and sit somewhere really quiet and let your mind go as quiet as it can and the answers will become available to you. Go and do something you enjoyed as a kid for a while, even if it's for two hours. Clear your mind. Everything is going to be okay.
