GCSE considered??

my school has told me that universities such as LSE and oxbridge required something like 7A* and the rest As and GCSE and of course the full A complement at A-level

i just wondered for those who applied for the pure economics course what their a-level and GCSE results were. also exam results for other course would be helpful.

the competition for LSE and oxbridge is so intense that they'd consider ur gcses but they won't require u to have 7* etc...
I have an offer from lse and i got 2A* and 2As...but i'm doing Maths and Economics.

At the LSE general open day, my mum was told in the 'parents conference' that GCSE grades are considered a better indicator of ability/potential than either AS-Levels or predicted A2 grades.

Incidentally, I have an offer this year with GCSE's: 2A* 4A 2B 1D

I got 6A* and the rest A's, and got an offer but someone at school had straight A*s and all As at AS and got rejected, still I don't suppose she cares coz she got an AE offer from Cambridge.
