It depends what course you want to study. If it is medicine then yes, resits do reduce your chances. Also realistically if you don’t get at least 7 9s your chances of getting into Oxbridge medicine are very low x

oh, God, i'm actually so cooked now but thanks though

Nahh pls don’t worry I was being very harsh and brutal 💀. I myself am retaking 3 GCSEs and want to go into medicine

well yours is way better i have to retake 6 GCSEs , my parent are going to kill me

if i retake and i end up getting A*(8/9) ,in all of my resits is there a chance or is there a huge damage of my chances at oxford or cambrigde, most especially cambrige, as it does not weigh gcse much unlike oxford?

I was wondering the same thing - I’ve posted questions regarding this, most of the replies stated that Cambridge doesn’t actually care to much about GCSEs, so resitting will not put you at a huge disadvantage especially if you achieve higher grades so I’d say resit if you want to but defo try hard at a levels and UCAT as those are the deciding factors
