Do I have a chance at Cambridge?

At gcses I got 99998777766 with the 9s being in maths, further maths chemistry and physics. The eight in biology the 4 sevens in English lit and lang, sociology, French, and the two 6s in business and geography.

I am currently doing Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry and am predicted A* A* A A*

I would like to either go into mathematics, economics or some sort of engineering at cambridge, am currently preparing for the tmua, and have applied to many supercurriculars such as the CHAS and many more. Do you think it’s possible for me to get in

And if not, do you believe it would be possible for me to get into imperial for maths.

Most likely mathematics but I still haven’t really made up my mind

Then your OP is wrong as you will not have any predictions yet!

You may have target grades but no way have you covered enough work to be predicted A*s.

I think the interviewers look for a person they would enjoy talking with (during supervisions) and who is likable. The interviewers might look for a person for whom they might write a letter of recommendation for Master's or DPhil applications
