You don't need a specific amount of GCSE's at certain grades to get into uni (well, maybe in some u will need at least a grade C/B in English or Maths etc) but uni's mainly focus on your A level grades, your personal statement and your extra-curricular activities such as sport or music etc...however, for places such as LSE the majority or applicants will be straight A and A* grade students anyway so in a way, the higher GCSE grades you have the better because if your personal statement is up against someone else's and the Uni is stuck as to which one to choose, in the end they may simply choose on the basis of who has higher GCSE grades. I was extremely lucky to get a conditional offer at St. Andrews on the basis i get 3 A's at A level as i explained my situation and what i went through at the time of the GCSE examinations. I hope this has been some sort of help to you.

So annoying how people are going off on a rant about how unis don't pay attention to GCSE grades when the thread is clearly in the LSE forum.

I got 8A* and 3A somehow, i'm still amazed 2 years later.
