hey! my GCSE grades were pretty average (mostly Bs and Cs) because i wasn't really into education at that point in my life. even my first year AS grades weren't very good, but i managed to work my way up with an AAA offer for king's. obviously the course you're hoping to take has an impact, but for me my previous academic achievements obviously weren't a massive issue. i think uni's are also very interested in people who express enthusiasm/interest in the subject they're applying for. but, again, it depends on your course - some have particular GCSE requirements, usually for maths and english.
