Imperial GCSE requirements

I have achieved GCSE's A*AACCC including A* in maths and C in English. I have also achieved AS results AAA in maths, further maths and economics, with over 90% marks in maths and further maths, is there any chance if I get A*A*A (A* in maths and further maths) of me getting into imperial to study maths if I achieve these grades and complete the STEP exams, or will my GCSE's let me down? Feedback would be much appreciated.

Imperial say:

Although we do not require passes in specific subjects at GCSE level, we do expect candidates to have a broad education. This can be shown by passes in a suitable range of subjects at that level, and we would normally expect at least five of these to be at grade A or A*.

So your GCSE results are definitely not going to help you but it's definitely worth applying. Why did you only do 6 GCSEs? Are there extenuating circumstances?

No I did more and they were D's but I only thought about doing A Levels 3 months before my GCSE exams and I didnt care about my other subjects, I didnt realise they would be important when applying for uni, however I was always good at maths and enjoyed the subject which is why I did well. When I look back now I should have worked harder for my GCSEs, but I suppose it is abit too much for someone who didnt care about education from years 7 to late year 11 to then get into Imperial which is ranked 10th in the world, when people work their entire school life to get there
