Bad GCSEs for uni

Hi I’m in year 12 I want to do accounting and finance at unis like Exeter, Nottingham, Surrey, York, Sheffield

However my GCSEs were really bad, I’ve checked the gcse entry requirements and I do meet all of them
My gcse grades were 766665554
6 in maths
4 in English language

Will I be put at a disadvantage
I currently do a levels

The most competitive Unis will usually use your overall GSCE profile as part of the assessment of your application. This will be a relatively small % of the overall score, but it can be significant when they are faced with applicants with otherwise similar A level grade predictions etc.
Exactly how each Uni assesses applications is a good question to ask at Open Days.

Thank you, would you consider my profile weak for the unis I’m looking at

Hi there,
I've just had a look at the requirements for Accounting and Finance at all the unis you've listed and this is what I found:
Exeter:

Nottingham

Surrey

York

Sheffield

As you can see, you miss the requirements for a couple of them, but they might be more lenient with your maths grade if you are taking maths for A-level, it would be worth maybe contacting their admissions or enquiries team to discuss this! As well, just keep looking around for other universities and keep all your options open - if you're a year 12 you have lots of time to decide and visit open days etc
Hope this helps!

As you can see, you miss the requirements for one of them based on your English grade, but they might be more lenient depending on different circumstances, it would be worth maybe contacting their admissions or enquiries team to discuss this!

Ahh I don’t do a level maths 😭 as all the unis didn’t require it

Remember that you can also resit GCSE English Language in Y13 to get the grade you need - its normally very straightforward, just talk to your school. This would not disadvantage your application, and any offer would just include the required GCSE grade as an extra condition.

Sorry I misread your OG post as a 5 in maths! I've corrected my above post now as it was just Nottingham uni you would miss out on with your Eng Lang grade! )
There are a lot more options around though that will have the requirement of a 4 for English so just keep looking around on UCAS
