The fact that u are assuming high predictions… already shows a bit of a bluff but in your best belief of 0.01% chance of you getting an all A* sets of predictions, you can basically get in anywhere besides LSE and oxford since you got no 9s and got a 5 which is not very ideal for those two. But for cambridge, it’s absolutely fine.

You need to go to some University Open Days this year and listen to the subject/course presentations - because not all Econ / Maths courses are the same. And as you have only just started A levels, assuming 'high grades' is a bit presumptuous.
