No predicted 9s. Will I still get an offer from the big three?

I got predicted 888777666 in my recent mock exams and I used these for bramption and ncs. But for Lae i needed a 7 in english lang and an 8 in maths so i gave my september mock predicted which was 87777776. I feel pretty anxious because everyone here got crazy in their predicteds this year with a bunch of 9s while im here with none. Should I stop believing I can get an offer to these schools? Lae is my main goal, do I have a chance there? I have free school meals too, if that boosts my chances anyhow. I plan on getting all 9s in the actual gcses.

for lae you prob dont have a chance because our grade requirements are 8 grades 9-7 and you sent off predictions with 7 grade 9-7, they might put you on a waitlist and let you enrol if you do really well in your gcses but there prob isnt much chance for an offer
pretty sure its the same for ncs because they require 62 points from your top 8 subjects and you have 51
for brampton you prob have a shot if ur applying for 4 humanities (e.g. english lit history politics and rs) because they said on the open evening last year that everyone who applied for 4 humanities with a 6.5 aps or higher got an offer so you have a good shot with them, but if you're applying stem then also prob not
this might sound disheartening but its still only march, if you do exceptionally well in your gcses you can just try to enrol on the day at any of these schools and have a solid shot of getting in, i know a girl in my year in your spot who got in on the day because her grades jumped by like 2-3 in every subject

Thank you so much for replying. Is the girl who is in your year in Lae now? And were her predicteds similar to mine? Do you know what she got in the actual gcses? Im trying to hold onto any hope there is left lol.
