Hi!
There are no GCSE (or equivalent) requirements for entry to Cambridge. GCSE results are looked at as a performance indicator, but within the context of the performance of the school/college where they were achieved.
The typical A Level requirements for an application to Mathematics are A*A*A including Maths and Further Maths, and for Natural Sciences are A*A*A including Maths and two other Sciences (which includes Further Maths and Physics), so you appear to be on the right track!

And as a Welsh applicant (go Cymru!
) you will have a particular advantage as well that your GCSEs will not be your most recent set of achieved results – so if you can ace your ASes then there's even less need to worry about your GCSEs at Cambridge or anywhere else!Related discussions
