Hello guys i moved to london last year and i only could attend college in london , no schools around me had vacancies so i had no choice. They only offered me 5 GCSe's i got A* maths ,double science AA( controlled assessments lowered my grades tbh i still don't know why they are that important got low B in both) and french B and english B . So does that mean i cant even dream about oxbridge ?? 😂😂😂

Was looking more at Cambridge actually, since they offer NatSci which is broader and more varied, since idk what sort of science I want to do in the future.

GCSEs don't matter a lot at Cambridge and oxford, I believe they're used to differentiate between the students that have similar grades. You need 3 A*s in A levels to be considered as an applicant for natsci as that is their requirements.

)

People, you NEED to tell us what subject you are hoping to reply for, otherwise there's no way anyone on here can possibly advise you :tongue:

They won't be getting AS exams. My year group was the last I think

You still do end of year 12 mocks and get predicted grades from your teachers, which is a big factor in uni application

I took for options fairly traditional subjects

A*s; chemistry,maths,physics,history,english lit,economics
As; biology,geography,welsh,welsh lit,english,french

I'm thinking of going for history

I'd like to study either HSPS or English at Cambridge, but I didn't get majority A*s. My school has the 2nd or 3rd worst results in our borough and a lot of departments are enquiring about our results. I'm getting English Lit and maybe French remarked, so my grades might be higher
Geography: A*
History: A
Drama: A
Music: A
English Lit: A (1 mark off an A* so I'm getting it remarked, fingers crossed)
IGCSE English Lang: A (our school is appealing as pretty much everyone as everyone was moved down an entire grade)
Additional Science: A
French: B (somehow my coursework went from an A/B to a D, so I'm enquiring about that, seems a bit weird seeing as I got As and A*s in the other units)
Core Science: B
Maths: B
Functional Skills: Pass
