Cambridge Computer Science

Hi I got 99888887776 in my gcses (the 6 being in PE) and was wondering if those gcses were strong enough to give me a chance at oxbridge for computer science?

Yes. GCSEs will count for very little (as long you’ve done well in English). What really matters is Maths and Further Maths at A-level with a science subject (most often Physics). Do well in TMUA, get to the interview, PROVE your passion - ie things you done and thought about in regards to the subject and you’re in. Good luck!
