So I just got my GCSE results and I got a mixed bag of grades. I got 4 grade 9's (RE, History, English Literature, English Language), 1 grade 8 (Mandarin), 4 grade 7's (Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry and Maths) and 2 grade 6's (Biology and Further Maths).
I know I did fairly well, but I'm concerned that having those grades may lessen my chances, especially since everyone aiming for top university's seem to be getting only grade 8's and 9's. I think my strong grades in essay subjects alongside my supercurriculars will help my application, but I'm worried that my lower grades may affect my chances.
