HSPS application with A*AA predicted

Hi!
I'm a year 13 student applying to Cambridge HSPS at Christ's College. While I think my Personal Statement is very strong, as are my teacher references, my predicted grades are only A*AAA, which is only the minimum requirement. I think I could perform quite well in the interview, but I'm terrified that my grades will prevent me from getting an invitation.
My A* is in psychology, and I have As in history, RS, and englisg lit (which I think I can also end up getting an A* in for the actual exams).
Does anyone have any informaion? Anyone who got in with A*AA predicted?
Please help me out!

The link below shows the 2023 HSPS offer holder averages at Cambridge for A*s predicted was 2.32, achieved A*s was 1.44 and av A levels achieved was 3.16.
So that shows that you will likely have a better than average chance if you were applying with two or more A*s achieved but you will likely have a lower than average chance with one A* predicted.
