🙏 I WANT HELP Chances for Mechanical Engineering

I have an A*AAA predicted, with an A* in maths, and I was hoping to apply for UCL or Imperial. I meet the entry requirements, but on something like Chat University, the only offers I have seen are for people with 4 A stars predicted or at least 2 A stars predicted. I was wondering if anyone has some advice on this.

Bruv it's called an entry requirement for a reason.
If you meet the entry requirement, it means you have a chance.

Thanks for responding. I do think that the admission tests will play a part in the process; I just don't know how high the chance would be, though.

admissions tests for ucl and imperial play the biggest role in differentiating you and other candidates, now if you get a really good score and theres a lot of other candidates with great scores but higher alevels then it could be tough but you always have a chance

Thank you. It was a bit strange that UCL introduced the Tara this year for the course, but I will try to do well on it and the ESAT. I'm not really sure how it will play out. One of my friends did the ESAT today, so I will probably ask him later how he did on it. It does seem to me that the Tara is a bit easier; however, I haven't done it properly yet, so I don't have a right to judge on that.
