is this good enough?

Im thinking of doing computer science at Bristol or even Cambridge.
i have done gcses this year and this is what i roughly think i got:
A MATHS
A/A* ADDITIONAL SCIENCE
A* COMPUTER SCIENCE
A* further maths
c in English
A/A* in polish
B in geography
D/C IN RE :wink:

I got a B in core science last year which wasn't too good.

im thinking to take maths,physics and computing for a level.

Probably not Oxbridge because they look at your top 8 GCSE's

For computer science the main requirements are maths and probably physics
but i think your gcses don't matter too much as I know a girl who got mostly B's in her gcse's but 4 A's in her A level and got into cambridge

Well you will have to hope that you got better grades than you though because successful Cambridge applicants have mostly A*'s and very few A's in some cases.

Probably right now, no honestly. Just wait until you get your results and hopefully you will get better than you expected to get!

To be honest, you don't really know what your chances are, realistically, until you get to A Level. Especially for Cambridge, which looks primarily at your A Levels and will most likely make an A*AA offer.

Not for A Level mate. An A* is roughly around 90%.

That is extremely difficult.

Lmao - A*AA is seen as extremely good and is a very high requirement - it's far from low, just you wait until you get to A-Levels and you'll see how hard it is.

Because those who are accepted into Cambridge have far better grades. GCSE results are mostly if not all A* and A level grades are A*AA.
Welcome to reality.

That's barely GCSEs and you didn't even get A*/A in all of them. There are some Cs etc. You will really need to retake your English and do much much better in A levels.
Tak czy inaczej, powodzenia!
