GCSE Grades for Natural sciences at natural sciences

I was wondering if these GCSE grades are good enough for natural sciences. I got two 9's, two 8's, five 7's, two 6's, B in additional maths and a merit in english speaking. I am predicted A*, A*, A, in a-levels at the moment. Is this good enough for natural sciences course at cambridge or anywhere in the UK?

These are the stated entry requirements for Nat Sci at Cambridge:
https://www.natsci.tripos.cam.ac.uk/prospective-students/admissions
https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/natural-sciences
The application process will include a review of your school's reference and PS, as well as your predictions and previous qualifications. As you'll see in the second link, applicants for Nat Sci have to take an admissions test before Cambridge decide whether to interview you.

Entry requirements for the Sutton Trust's Summer Schools are at least five 6-9 grades at GCSE, which you have. I'm not implying that you should be applying for the summer school (which is open to applications from students at UK state schools), just making the point that they will be expecting summer school students to apply to Cambridge with that academic background.

Durham (another lovely city) ask for A*AA. My son's friend just got into Exeter to do Nat Sci with AAA, which is their typical (non-contextual) offer. Here's a list of others: https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/courses/search/undergraduate/natural-sciences

Best of luck with your application!
