Is my predicted grades going to hold me back ?

I want to get into NCS or brampton manor however my predicted grades are very average with 5s and 6s. I truly believe that i can make the threshold of 62-72 points and a 9 in maths and 2 9s in combined science,all that aside will they look at my predcited grades.

Your predicted grades matter to some extent if but you can always apply on results day. Your actual GCSEs matter most so just make sure to do well on your mocks and even better in the actual thing

i think you mean enroll and also i saw on their website that they prioritise actual gcse grades so i could flop ( not saying that i want to and its pretty average anyways ) but i would rather get perks like summer A level taster days and stuff you know

Predicted grades matter especially for competitive subjects like A levels or STEM pathways. If your predicted grades are below their usual entry threshold it can limit your application even if you exceed them in your final exams. Taking into consideration how high demand these colleges are.
