I'm a future PPE applicant hoping to go to Durham/Warwick/Edinburgh for uni.

I just did my mocks and achieved AAA (maths, philosophy, english literature), whilst under extenuating circumstances. My school absolutely refuses to predict me above A*AA, and I'm really really worried that this massively decreases my chances of an offer. I know that I technically meet the minimum grade requirements, but from the FOI's I've looked at I know my chances of getting an offer are severely decreased. I'm spiralling quite a lot, I've put so much effort in and feel crushed they won't predict me higher. Does anyone have any success stories with lower predicted grades than expected?
