good enough gcses for unis

For subjects like marine biology/ecology, aslong as you have a minimum of a B in your science subjects at GCSE then you're fine. It's you're A Levels the uni's are most interested in, so an A or B in A level biology and/or chemistry is what most will be looking for.

as long as you have a B or above in the subject you want to do you're fine most of the time, apart from there are SOME exceptions depending on the subject, ie for psychology you would need a B or above at gcse maths if you haven't done it for a level

Or a C.

....

I think these are actually really good grades, so I wouldn't worry .

I know some unis such as UCL take into consideration your gcse grades, but do; plymouth, portsmouth, southampton, brighton, UEA, essex, bangor or anglia ruskin?

And especially for a subject such as marine biology/ ecology?

These are what I got;

A* - chemistry

A- biology and maths

B - english lit, english lang, physics, geography, history

C/PASS - art, social ethics, ICT (done in year 9)

I know they're not the best in the world but I didn't fail anything and it's A-levels and personal statements that are more important but i'm aware that unis look at your gcse grades aswell as they're what you've achieved rather than predictions.
