Cambridge Admissions Score

Scroll to see replies

According to GradeInfo, I'm 1 in 130,000.

Which is nice to hear, but must be rubbish as I know a couple of people at my school (which was bad- just failed OFSTED inspection) who got better than me.

Wow! What were your GCSEs and A levels, if you don't mind me asking?

Please note that the gradeinfo website (as absolutely brilliant as it is) is a tad inaccurate at the extremes. Its correct about the nearest 500 or so. Also it doesn't include GS/CT.

So if you have AAAAAA (without GS/CT) at A Level is #1, then it means you are firmly in the top 500 students. :smile:

Apparently I'm the numero uno as well, at least, my predicted grades are.
AAAAAa if you're interested.
Top 500 sounds good enough to me though

I was 1 in 130,000 until i realised i'd entered both my results in both AS and A2. Does anyone know what the average GCSE points score is for successful applicants?

I know for sure that the average number of A* for successful entrants is 6.

^ In which case I'm just going to assume that SG 1 = GCSE A* so I can have the magical 6 too :p:

That means some people will get in with less than 6.

As many with 10 as with 2. Incredible eh?

Hrm, not sure. There are probably a whole load of people with five.

Yeah, more likely than not it's about 80% of kids havin 4-8, and then a few guys n gals with 10-12, and a roughly equal amount with 0-2.

I get that too.

There should be a better way of comparing SGs and GCSEs. GCSEs should have some sort of UCAS tariff points. You know a 1 at SG is worth 38 while a C at AS is only 40?

Really?

Well 5 As at Higher = 6 As at AS, which makes a lot of Scottish people look very, very clever...

Naturally. Living in this place obviously gives a few extra brain cells.

Converting all your UCAS points into AS levels give me a stange sense of gloatation. Can't help but feel it's not quite fair. :p:

To be honest it probably won't make a difference to how good the application is or make you more likely to get an offer; but deep down everyone knows we are better :p:
