Am I good enough for UK IB

Hello guys, new to this site and want some help for the best route to IB.

I'm currently a student who has recently finished A-levels and applying to Universities (or colleges as you say on here :) ) and was wondering the best course to getting to the front office My grades aren't stellar, but still are pretty good, and many people have lesser grades but have still ended up as traders etc. Becuase I studied Mathematics and sciences (physics and chemistry) at A-levels the logical thing to do would be to apply to study ChemEng/MechEng at a top UK uni like UCL/Imperial/Warwick. My grades are not good enough for Oxbridge and probably won't get into to imperial.

So my question is, how likely would it be for me to get into front office with say a engineering degree from warwick/ucl?
