GCSE grades- Cambridge

Yep, that's a decent set of results. They say they won't differentiate between 9s and 8s, so to all intents and purposes you have 9 A*s, which is more than enough to not hinder the rest of your application. A-Level predicted grades are more important though, so keep it up!

Hey, would you say 7 A*s (8s & 9s) with 3 As and 1 B is good enough for Cambridge Engineering? The B (6) is in English Literature which is off for remark, and I'm also remarking Comp. Sci which is a 7 too (because I got a 9 in the mocks)

Definitely. I know someone who got an offer for engineering at Churchill college, Cambridge, and their GCSEs weren't as good as yours. What really matters is your A-levels.

Okay, thanks for that. Would you say it's competitive enough for more competitive colleges, like Jesus College? Obviously assuming that everything else like the admissions test etc. goes well.

Yep, I'd say so. Cambridge doesn't have any GCSE requirements. They'd only serve as a bit of a performance indicator, and generally they expect you to have at least 4 or 5 a's or a*'s - which your results exceed.

Good luck!
