What makes you think you won't get interviewed?

I'm curious to know what your work experience with those companies involved as well. Make sure you don't embellish...

Mate I'm honestly just as worried as you - At GCSE I have 9999999999999 (13 Grade 9s) and predicted A*A*A*A* in Maths, Econ, Further Maths & Geography and an internally marked A* in my EPQ. I completed a WEX at JPM and a quant firm (Citadel), as well as being invited to the UN summit of the future; I also competed in a Cambridge college Land Econ competition and won that. But still looking at the rest of the competition, I'm not too sure of my chance. What do you think? However it's important to note that Cambridge interviews 70-80% of their applicants.
