I know he looks young, but if he started university in 1992 he'd be about 34. It's quite an achievement to get where he is, it'll be particularly rare to reach foreign secretary before your mid-30s. He only became an MP in 2001

Anyway, his father

Not that I'm saying it necessarily had any role in his university applications. In fairness, he still got three Bs (with a D) and A-level grade inflation hadn't quite kicked in back then (with lower typical offers across all unis, including Oxbridge).

But a U isn't certificated as a GCSE, hence he'd got 4 GCSEs: FDGE.

He didnt say the 5 GCSEs he got, he said the 5 GCSEs he sat.

Of course, I would hardly be at Cambridge if the best performance I could manage was 5 GCSEs at that low level.

My girlfriend got into Cambridge with 13.5 A* and 100-95% UMS in 4 A levels...

Dunno if that answers your question... Haha sorry! IMO anything that meets requirements as said before 5 A*-C but you'd have less chance.. you would have to make up for it with one hell of a PS and if you got an interview it would have to be FIRE tooo! But then again what do i know...

But what a flipping genius, i wish i was her *sigh*
