Minimum grade requirements at GCSE for Oxbridge?

With them results, very little chance. Oxbridge students have about 8A*'s and A/A*s at A-Level. What course do you want to do at uni?

Yeah, that's what I expected and it's absolutely fine with me. I'd like to go to a 'Russell Group' Uni if possible though. Not sure, I'm taking English Literature, History, French and Politics at AS Level, so one of them I guess!

Yeah I speak french fluently, I might do a French but only to AS if I do.

I know this is all guesswork and that it depends on the college - but could someone give me a rough estimate?

I get my results in August and I'm hoping for 5 A*, 3 A, and 2 B. I've never thought about Oxford or Cambridge before, but some of my teachers have been advising me to try if I get good AS levels next year.

You might as well do it at least to AS if you're fluent!

, et toi, est-ce que vous le parlez couramment?

Malheureusement non... je voudrais etre un jour!

Dont go to oxbridge... you have brill results coming up and oxbridge will just say they aren't good enough when they obviously are... Unis like oxbridge are absolutely gay and very much over rated which is why the uni thinks its ''all that''and sets its dtandards high... Personally im expecting about 2 A*s 8 A's and 1 B... i want to do medicine and reckon i will get A*AAA in A level if i try but im gonna apply to uni such as Queen mary, imperial, St george, UCL which are very good universities with lower expectations than oxbridge - an overrated uni...

There are no GCSE requirements for courses at Oxford:
https://uni-of-oxford.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1067/kw/gcse

The average no. of GCSEs A*s does tend to vary from subject to subject. The average applicant has 70% of GCSEs at A* for medicine. Here in Computer Science our candidates average 6-7 A*s, but some will have a lot less. Your results are below the average of our successful candidates. But it's just that: an average. Performance in aptitude tests (where relevant) and interview are more important.

When it comes to Oxford, the requirements are for a specific course; they will be the same for that course whichever college you apply to. There's lots of information here: http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/applying-to-oxford

HOpe that helps.

Ignore what some people say, yes the majority of Oxbridge candidates have a lot of A* at gcse but this is because the applicants tend to be of very high calibre. My sister had 4 interviews at Oxford despite only having 1 A* at GCSE.... However she did have AAAB at AS level (with those As being almost A* if they had them at AS level)

Nothing's impossible, and if your teachers think you're up for it it's definitely worth a shot! you will still have 4 other uni applications if it doesn't work out anyway, good luck!

You're wrong in that they have 'very little chance' as AS results, admissions tests (again, if applicable), UMS (Cam), personal statement (more so for certain subjects), and essays (if applicable) will all play a part in the application process. Many people with those grades get in.


It doesn't depend on the College, unless you're applying to say, Trinity, Cambridge for Maths.
These results are fine to apply with, although they are slightly below average the average candidate - however, there are many more important factors which will be taken into account.


Come on, don't be silly by calling them 'gay', which is homophobic anyway. Just accept the fact that Oxbridge are the best two universities in the world and the reason why they set their standards high is because of the calibre of applicants they receive every year. I'm going to be honest; with Imperial and UCL Medicine, you'll need much better GCSE grades. There is only a small gap between them and Oxbridge.
