Do universities care what exam boards you do your A-Levels on?

I'll being doing English Lit on AQA. AQA doesn't have the best reputation and some people think it's the easiest board. I want to apply to Cambridge and LSE; will they prefer somebody who did OCR or Edexcel? Thanks.

No. They aren't allowed to discriminate based on the exam board with which you took your A-levels.
