What GCSE grades do you need for warwick and what did you get

Hi all,

I got 5A* 5A and 1B for my GCSEs and would love to apply to Warwick to study economics...although I'm still in year 12, so will defo have to wait for AS grades! I'm also thinking of places like Nottingham.
Do you think the grades are ok enough, esp for warwick?
(I know for Nottingham, GCSEs do not really matter because my economics teacher got in with AAA despite being predicted DDE for his A levels. so I'm assuming that his gcse grades were not very high.)
What do you think about Warwick? Any personal/similar experiences?

Your GCSEs definitely won't put you at a disadvantage to be honest, I would make sure that for Econ you get at least three As at AS and get predicted an A* or two but solid AS results are paramount. I do know people who've been rejected at Warwick because of their GCSEs in my year but I wouldn't worry too much about yours at all!

I had a similar GCSE profile to yours (marginally worse to be honest) and I've been given an offer for International Management which is an A*AA course. What I will say is don't let the horror stories of people getting rejected with 10A*s that you see on here put you off, either they're making it up or another aspect of their application was ****.

By the way, personal experience of Warwick is; brilliant across the board and definitely worth an application.

Hope this helps!

Everyone needs to calm down about GCSE's affecting their chances at Warwick
My GCSE's? 3A's, 5B's, 1C, 3D's
And I got two offers from Warwick within 3 weeks of sending my application.
Seriously guys, your statement/reference/predicted grades mean so much more!

I know that there are quite alot of these threads in the past but the reason why i made another one was because things may have changed. To those of you who have been given an offer or are in your first year of economics at warwick what were you're GCSEs? Mine are 3A* 6A 1B and from the past threads i don't think i stand much of a chance

Identical GCSEs to me but I actually resat my A levels and got an offer for Biochemistry. Those grades should be fine for the great majority of courses (except possibly economics which is notoriously competitive).

****ing hell.......

i made this thread in 2008......... I am now in my second year of uni......

Cheers! That puts my confidence up a little. The thing is, my sister is sooo clever..although she only got one more A* than me =0
I hope my GCSE's dont put me at a disadvantage...and hopefully i wont have to get one of my gcses marked (was few marks away to 7 a stars -(()

People arent even getting into nottingham with excellent grades...its scary!

So where else did you apply to then?

Hey I got 2A* and 8As at GCSE, i'm studying biology, chemistry, maths and economics for AS this year. Would my GCSE's put me at a big disadvantage for Economics?
