I know AS, A- Levels, PS, work experience etc is much, much more important than GCSE grades when applying to university, but GCSE's still play a role, no matter how small.
Would the GCSE grades I got keep me in competition for a place studying Law or History at Oxbridge, or a top tier RG university? By the way I am NOT showing off, because most people on here do better than me!
6,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,8,8
So, in the A- C system, that would equate to:
B,B,B,A,A,A,A,A,A*,A*
Thank you.

Your GCSEs are pretty decent, but it would have been better had there not been any Bs in them. But to be honest, the AS levels are the most important of them all. If you manage to score As in you AS levels it would show an improvement in your grades. Most universities like oxbridge want to see an improvement instead of a decline in grades.

If the uni has specific entry requirements then check that you meet them. If not then focus on your A levels as GCSEs will be mainly used contextually. -

Even contextually, would they be high enough to compete?
