Hey I'm looking to apply to medicine at Cambridge and I got my results today.I got 8A* 4As. I have a diverse range of extracurriculurs but I was wondering whether these results would at least give me a shot at medicine at Cambridge?Cheers

There fine but you need to do chemistry at a level and get top marks or they won't even consider you.

Hey!

Congratulations. As long as you're happy and you've achieved the best results for you, that's all anyone could ever ask for. Well done! :biggrin:

Thank you. Hopefully I'll get even better results in Year 11 as I'm going to start actually putting some effort in, but on the whole, I'm pretty happy with this year's outcome.

I'm overall very happy with my results! I was really hoping that I'd just managed to get an A* in English Literature, but I ended up with a mid A grade (i.e. not very close to an A* and not worth getting remarked) so I'm a very tiny bit disappointed, but I'm blaming my teacher for that one lol. However, I got an A* in Health and Social Care when I expected to either get an A or more likely a B so that makes up for it. I got a D in my H&SC mock in March, but I've decided that it must have been because how my teacher marked it because I didn't do very much different in the real exam and got full UMS.

Although it didn't change my grade, both my Computing and Spanish controlled assessment marks went down after moderation - Computing A452 went down by 2 marks and Spanish speaking went down by about 4 (I can't remember exactly what my teacher gave me but it was 3 or 4 marks above what I got).

My best result was RS, which I got full UMS in (and after looking at the raw mark -> UMS converter, I think that means I got either full marks or one mark off full marks)!

I wish I could see my mark for maths and sciences but neither of them use UMS (sciences are IGCSE) so it's not on my results sheet.

I ended up staying at school for about an hour, and I also had to sort out my A Level choices because my school messed up and seemed to think that everyone who wanted to do Computer Science wanted to do Graphics.

I got: 2A*s 6As and 4Bs. I know this is good but I'm still a bit upset as I thought I might do a little better. I'm gonna get 3 subjects remarked as I was 3 marks, 2 marks and 1 mark off of an A.Is there any point attempting to get into Oxford? Or should I just move on? I went to a state school and got one of the best results in the year. Does that strengthen my case? I'm willing to work very hard to get good A Levels.

As long as you have at least a C in English language and maths they don't really bother looking at the rest of your GCSEs, its A levels that matter to them but you would need to get top marks to be offered a place.

Hi guys, Im about to leave for university so listen to me when i tell you this.
To those of you who did great, congrats, you'll probably do well in A levels too. To those of you who didnt do so great and are down about it, its really not the end of the world. Ultimately, GCSEs dont mean much so dont think your life is suddenly ruined. But what i will tell you is that you will need to work extremely hard in your A levels in these next two years. People will tell you its a huge step from GCSEs to a levels. At first I didnt believe it, but oh boy were they true. A levels don't mean too much once you've got into uni, but they are important for actually getting you into uni (particularly teacher references and predicted grades).

Im bad at concluding these paragraphs but yeah you get my point

****ing hell I'm literally 1 mark off an A in english language and like 3 marks off in Business (I didn't care about business, got C by 1 mark in coursework but a high A in exam, and 37/40 in the first one which is a B lol if i ticked one of the boxes properly i would have 38)
I'm also close in RE and D&T Resistant Materials

and also like 5 marks off an A* in maths because I can't add fractions, solve a simple equation and draw lines on graphs :smile:

Is getting all C's and one B a good result? I look around and people are getting A and are still unhappy. Have i done badly or good guys? I have mixed feelings at the moment! :s-smilie:

You did brilliant. I would have been well impressed with myself if I'd managed that when I did the majority of mine and it means that you won't have to resit anything later on.
