Saying you didn't do a GCSE?

Hey,

I did French 2 years early in Year 9 and got a B, I was part of an accelerated french group. It's a B and I want all As and A*s, can I just hide the fact that I did this GCSE? I want to get into a top uni and I'm nervous that the B may affect my chances

Thanks in advance
A b does nothing.
don't worry

Even for Oxbridge? I heard they're pretty picky about GCSEs, but I guess it would be a good talking point saying I did it early

Oxbridge do not care.
For Oxford, as long as you have 70%+ A* percentage, you have good chance- You can still get in with lower.
One B is nothing.

Cambridge - do not put much emphasis on GCSE's.

That's great to hear. Thank you so much for alleviating my worries :smile:
If you don't put it down then you risk your application being void.
