University offers

When universities make offers, do they just look at your alevel, personal statement and reference? Or do they also look at GCSEs?
I'm predicted AAA and my personal statement is good and so is my reference..but I got bad gcse's (1A, 5Bs, 5Cs) does that mean they won't offer me? Even if I'm predicted what they want

Some look at GCSEs (e.g. require A in English and Maths). Some might use them as a deciding factor (Oxford). Others won't care. If a uni requires a particular GCSE grade it'll be specified in the entry requirements.

Surrey ask for a grade A in maths for my the subject I want to do. But I got a grade B...one mark off an A, will they ignore my application if I apply?

Everything!Sometimes they look at GCSES to differentiate between applicants who have got similar AS level grades

Yes. I would look for a different University which only requires a B. Many good Unis will probably only be looking for a B in Maths. Though that depends on the course you're trying to do.
