GCSE Cambridge medicine

Will having 4 GCSE resits look concerning and bad on my med application to Cambridge medicine even tho I got 4 9s in my resits so total of 8 9s overall. 999999998776 but no extenuating circumstances

You can't really tell with Cambridge, they have rejected people with all A*s in GCSEs and a levels but have still allowed people in with low grades. Someone also got into Cambridge with only 2 GCSES and remember that A levels are much more important than your GCSES. So it would be pretty stupid to resit subjects when you already have about 7/8 A*s

Thank you, So with those stats provided with a good interview, would I most likely get a conditional offer?

As I said before, Cambridge are unpredictable so you might not get it. Other universities should definitely let you in
