No GCSE as International

international student from korea, and though i took IB, i didnt take GCSE. applied to 5 courses, with requirements AAB, AAA, AAA, AAA, A*AA. My predicted is A*A*A (converted from IB), but im worried it's insufficient since I didn't do GCSE. What would you say my chances are, and how disadvantaged would i be compared to kids who did GCSE?

Can I ask which course/uni you're applying to?

It wont matter that you don't have GCSEs - the majority of International applicant don't.
They will assess your application without this, and use your IB etc to determine if you have the subjects/skills they require.
As above, if you are completing the IB then GCSE's won't be relevant.
