GCSE Grades enough for Law at Cambridge or Oxford

I managed to get:
Chemistry: A*
Biology: A*
Physics: A*
History: A*
Spanish: A*
Maths: 8 (A* equivalent)
English Language: 8 (A* equivalent)
English Literature: 7 (A equivalent)
Media Studies: B

So overall 7A*s, 1A and 1B

Do you guys think these grades will be enough to study Law at Cambridge or Oxford? I'm really happy with them but was a bit worried about the B in Media - do you think this will hold me back seeing as the course is really competitive?

Yes, Oxbridge dont have specific GCSE requirements- they expect passes at GCSE and understand that accademic potential develops greatley during A levels! What A levels are you taking as these are much more important ?

It may be because I'm new here, but how on Earth do people see these results and think that they're unworthy? I understand it more with Oxford than I do with Cambridge, but those grades are fantastic regardless of a B in an irrelevant subject.

We can't work out whether it's a humblebrag (or sometimes not even very humble) or sheer blindness to the facts. Either way, it's been very noticeable this year, and it's turning into a bit of a joke.

I've seen some absurd threads. They tend to go along the lines of 'I ONLY HAVE A 98 UMS AVERAGE WILL I EVER GET INTO X???'.

Happens every GCSE/A-Level Results Day.

I know... I know. And I think all it does is actually turn normal people (i.e those working at B/C/D level) off TSR. Would you want to use it, seeing these ridiculous kids with their 193 A* grades complaining that they 'lost out' on 3 UMS?

I know, but don't you think it's a bit worse this year, in terms of the silliness with A*?

Indeed, I believe the Urban Dictionary used to include something like that in their definition of us. Something to the effect of "Spoiled children who claim you're destined for benefits if you don't get 12 A*s at GCSE, 4 A*s at A-Level, and study at Oxbridge or Warwick."
