UCL and KCL economics - do I have a chance?

I have applied for ucl and Kcl economics. Here are my stats:

A*A*A*A*A in chem maths econ epq and further maths respectively

9 - eng lit and maths
7 - the three sciences and geography
6 - further maths computing German and eng lang.

TMUA: 3.3 (not my score as I have been affected by the data breach this has been communicated by my school to ucl)

U have worried about Tmua and GCSEs leading to me getting rejected and I have done loads to make a good ps and get my grades back up and high again. Please let me know your thoughts

That is your TMUA score. Just because there was a data breach does not mean your score has been shuffled or scrambled. Any amount of copium will not change this fact, and universities will evaluate you based on the score that they have received from UAT-UK.

With that said, I would say you have questionable chances. Your A-Levels are strong but do not make up for a bad TMUA. No one here can say for sure, however. Good luck with your applications.

Not sure since I emailed the Pearson bye and they said smth along the lines that my score doesn’t match the demographics of my student account and smth is wrong with the validation number
