Why are you all making these posts? Universities look at your A levels so there is a point working towards them. These grades are fine, they won't affect your application at all.

Hi, congratulations on your results!

I think Cambridge will look at your GCSE grades in the context of your school performance (so if your grades are some of the best in your year got then that is good!)
