Getting Into a Top 20 With My GCSE's

Hey guys, I was just doing a little thinking and I wanted to know what you think about my chances of getting into a top 20 school to do economics.

My GCSE grades are:

A*'s (4) - Mathematics, Business (2) and History
A's - (6) - English (2), Science (2), Statistics and IT
B's - (1) - French

I was thinking about applying for the likes of Warwick, Duhram, Exeter, Bristol etc.

Opinion please :smile:

Well if you have Good A level subject combinations, Good AS grades, Good PS, Good Reference and GOOD predicted grades - then your stated GSCEs will not hinder you application in TOP 20 (but may not be the case if you decide for TOP 10) Good luck - and do well at AS....

Your GCSE's are fine. It's your predicted A-level grades that will matter in the end.

Oh no(!) The B in French will really mess you up... (!)Do your ASs and then ask, if you get As then go for it, if you get Bs and Cs then no.

Thats basically what i said, do your ASs first. Maybe he shouldn't listen to you either since people who say I what I say (i.e. you) are fools... :rolleyes:

Well they're a lot higher than mine and I'm aiming for entirely top 10 Unis (with one 25th Uni I already have an offer for.)

You'll be FINE! (Assuming your AS are the same qualtiy as these.)

You should be fine. Exeter, for instance, give typical offers of AAA - AAB for Economics.

Wait until you get your AS grades. But with grade A in maths and economics you will be fine for offers outside the top 11. Inside the top 11 it will be harder.
