Do I still have a chance of Edinburgh uni?

I’m looking to apply to law and international relations at edinbrugh, where it says you need AAAAA by the end of S5 preferred. In my results I got AAAAB in english, art, modern, geography and maths, last time I checked I didn’t meet the unis minimum entry requirements, however I am participating in Glasgow Unis top-up programme, which is an accepted widening participation programme at edinbrugh. I have also participated in Strathclyde’s focus west WP programme.

I’m wondering if I still have a chance of getting into edinbrugh as it’s a competitive course, and what grades other people got to get into this course!

The key word 'preferred' highlights that it's not a strict entry requirement where your out listed if you do not have AAAAA. If you show sincere passion for law and international relations by doing related extracurriculars then you still have a chance.

I got into Edinburgh with lower than preferred grades (an ineligible for widening access), but I had TONS of super-curricular experience i.e. work experience, volunteering, outside courses, additional languages. I tried to absolutely pack my personal statement and I got an unconditional with AABBB by the end of S5!

Also, what was the preferred grades on their entry requirement?
