Imperial Physics low ESAT score

Hello, I didn't do too well in the ESAT in October so I kind of ruled out the idea that I would get an offer. But recently I've heard that some people with low scores still manage to get in. How possible do people think it is for me to get an offer? I got a 3.8 in maths 1, a 4.2 in maths 2 and a 4.1 in physics. I have predicted grades A*A*A*A and my gcse grades were 999999876. (the gcses I didn't get a 9 in were ones completely unrelated to science or maths, not sure if that makes a difference though). I've also been told I have quite a good personal statement with a lot of extracurriculars related to physics and a lot of unrelated extra curriculars too.
