AS level exam affecting my university application
Hi, I'm a student who's done AS level exams for physics, maths, further maths and computer science. I'm certain that I will be getting an A in maths and further maths, but I'm afraid I didn't do well in computer science in the exam(I think I will get a B..), so I think I hopefully will be receiving A*A*A*A or A*A*AA for my final predicted grade at the start of next academic year. Would it be still possible to get into Cambridge computer science? I know for fact that Cambridge applicants are usually students with all A*s, constantly rethinking I shouldn't have messed up the exam. I've almost finished writing my personal statement and been revising for uni admissions test for ICL and Cambridge(MAT:64-76, TMUA:6.5-7.2), so the only thing that makes me worried is my actual grade for my a level computer science.
Hiya,
From what I know please don't take it as 100% true as this is up to Cambridge admissions teams themselves.
If you were to get a lower grade then you wished there is no harm still applying! Please check out their entry requirements as it would help for you to understand and luckily help ease ya up

In general, Cambridge as a whole (not the colleges) just want maths and further maths. The subjects you picked are perfect for the entry requirements. It also depends which college you apply for or if you do an open application. As some require a A* for computer science while others just want maths and a science subject or even just maths!
Please let me know what college/s you are interested to apply for so I can tell you more xx
Hope this helps

Thank you for the reply, I think I will decide which college I'll consider going to after attending the open day in September. I heard Emmanuel college and Trinity are good for computer science, so I might go have a look at them two colleges!
