What’s my chance of getting an offer form Imperial biochemistry

I saw some people which had 4A* predicted from previous years got rejected from imperial and I am really worried because my predicted are even lower. My predicted are A* in Photography, 3As in Math, Chem, Bio and achieved a A in Chinese. In my PS I mentioned that I got a copper award in a chemistry challenge, a photography award from an inter school competition, a biochemistry online course and a work experience(kinda related to biochemistry). What do you guys think my chance of getting an offer, I am really scared😭

You do have a chance, your grades are certainly above the required AAA. However I am unsure on how strong/relevant a photography A level is, an A is Chinese is certainly impressive but its less considered if you are Chinese and Imperial only mostly considers A levels taken in one sitting anyway. Yes, there has been people rejected with 4 A stars, similarly there has been people who have got in with 3 A's, the university's admissions process takes in multiple factors. I think if you have some safety universities and a good (and relevant) personal statement, there is no reason why not to give it ago. You do have a chance of getting an offer, but looking at the admissions rate of 1:10, regardless of what grades, no one can say for certain whether they are sure to get an offer or not.

Hi, thank you ! I do have some save choices, and I understand that it’s competitive and unpredictable. I am just really nervous while waiting for the decision. I really wanna study there, hopefully my PS is good enough to get me an offer😬. Thank you again for your advice!
