Peterhouse Engineering Inteviews - ESAT and TMUA scores

Hi everyone,

Having seen my ESAT and TMUA results I received (wayyyy lower than I expected):
TMUA: 4.5
ESAT: 4.3 / 5.7 / 2.7

My academic profile:
A*A*A*A* at A-level (1 of 7 out of 143 in my cohort to get these grades) Private School Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Computer Science
IGCSEs: 99999888774
Top 100 in Isaac Physics and qualified for Round 1 BPhO
Several other academic competitions and supercurriculars

I’ve applied to Engineering at Cambridge (Peterhouse), Mathematics with Physics at Imperial, and Mathematics at LSE.

I’m a bit worried that my admissions test results have pulled down my application, since my school performance and supercurriculars are strong. What do you think my chances are for each of these universities, given that my personal statement and reference are both above average?

I also wanted to ask specifically about Peterhouse Engineering:
When do interview decisions usually come out for Peterhouse?
With my ESAT scores (especially the weaker Physics score), is it still realistic to expect an interview, or do these results make it unlikely?

Any advice or insight would be appreciated!
