What are my chances of getting into Warwick for Psychology?

The standard offer is AAA with 6 in gcse maths
I'm eligible for contextual offers (I'm not too sure about the Warwick offer scheme, but I believe they offer two grades lower than the standard offer?)
I'm predicted ABB with a predicted A for EPQ
I got 77766665554 (With 5 in foundation maths)
I have a space left on my UCAS application so I was considering applying as I won't really be losing anything. The other unis i've applied to have quite low/decent entry requirements, but i don't want to apply if i've been auto rejected.

This may be a stupid thing to ask, but it's always worth asking! Some uni's who require gcse maths grade 6 said they were fairly lenient, but i didn't know how strict Warwick would be.

Looks like an auto-reject to me, especially as the listed requirements for a contextual offer are explicit about a 6 in maths. You could contact Warwick and ask, but I wouldn't be hopeful.

As above, any specific GCSE requirements are not flexible. Being a Contextual applicant will make no difference, this is about minimum skills required to complete their course, not 'nice to have'. So your only option is to resit GCSE Maths alongside your A levels, or apply somewhere else.
