They're fine, just make sure to choose unis that don't weight GCSEs much (can't really advise on which unis that would be since idk). Obviously it won't get you into oxbridge but there are plenty of other options.

The results are just fine and should meet any A-level requirements. Most universities I know about focus on A-level results and don't set any specific GCSE requirements. And some which do, such as Bath University you meet with ease: 4 in Maths and English Lang/Lit. So as long as you get good A-level results you will be fine.

Cambridge, if all A* A level grades (achieved) and a really good ucat icl (top 5%)(and as long as the school Is relatively low performing). People always seem to overstate how much Cambridge cares about GCSEs. Oxford, yeah, no.
