As long as your A2 grades are up to requirements, from what I've seen they don't care much about GCSEs, aside from some unis requiring a B in English (and Maths, for some courses).
Hey, I'm a second year undergraduate studying Biomedical Science at the University of Warwick. I'm also applying to do a placement year, so I can help with that in any way.
If you need help with anything, I can try and help with applications, the course, Warwick (if your're applying there), careers, etc.

Maths studies might be an issue. Have you checked with the Unis you're interested in to make sure they accept Maths studies?
