Will my GCSE's really mess up my univeristy application?

I'm apply for Durham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Exeter and Leeds to study engineering. I worked hard in year 12 and gained AAAB in AS and thought I had a good chance of getting some offers but I have been told otherwise by some people. My GCSE's were A*AAAAABCC which when I was predicted straight A*/A's was annoying but I openly admit I wasn't interested in most of my subjects and didn't try but now I've been told they may hold me back when applying for uni I'm even more annoyed :mad:

will they affect me that much? Any reply would be great thanks for reading

Your GCSEs are okay. Your AS levels are good. What did you get a B in ?

Yeah, have to admit FP2 looks like a nightmare of an exam though :s-smilie:

What was your percentage for chemistry overall ? I think you have a great chance for most engineering courses, you could even throw in an oxbridge/imperial/ucl choice if you want.
