Admission Process for KEGS sixth form in Chelmsford

I have been predicted to get 6 9s in GCSEs out of the 10 GCSEs I do and the remaining 8s.
Unfortunately I do not take MFL ofr GCSE since I didnt think it would help in my very science-based ambitions.
What are the chances that KEGS will still consider my application despite me not taking a MFL (Modern Foreign Language) GCSE ?
The subjects I am taking are : Physics , Chemistry , Maths and Economics
Many Thanks

Hmm, I read their minimum acceptance criteria and as I remember they require a 4 in MFL? Anyway, applying into a grammar school is something you must have been looked at before choosing your GCSEs. You can try emailing them but I'm 90% sure they will reject you. You can also try to apply into Colchester Royal Grammar, but to be honest it will probably be too late.
You're results are too good for places like Colchester Sixth Form(or the equivalent you have in Chelmsford) but there are still students in these colleges who do well and go to top unis.
In my opinion, try to get into these 2 anyway and if not, you can still do well in your A levels, don't worry too much about it!
