If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Are my gcse grades good enough for oxbridge?

My gcse grades are 9888876665
9- chemistry
8-economics
8-physics
8-maths
8-biology
7-geography
6-religious studies
6- eng lang
6- eng lit
5- German

My a levels are maths, further maths, econ and computer science

I am thinking of resitting religious studies and English language to at least get an 8 in both of them.
Will these grades be good enough to even be considered for and oxbridge application, thankyou?

Your A level predicted grades will be more important, so once you get your predicted grades, if they're good then it could be worth applying.

Hey, your GCSE grades are perfectly ok 🙂 Oxbridge will look at your GCSEs for sure but as long as they pass the minimum requirements then they more or less won't really judge you for it. You only got one 5 and in a subject that you're not even taking and doesn't really affect your major in any way so it's highly likely they'll overlook that. You got all 8s and 9s for the subjects that you're taking at A Levels so that's really more important than a few 6s and one 5. What you should focus on right now is your A Levels and make sure you get the best predicted grades you possibly can. Good luck, you can do this!!
