Medicine at Cambridge

Hi

If I have 6 A*s and 5 As and like two Bs in GCSE but I got predicted A*A*A*A in A levels bio chem physics EPQ respectively ( I always get like five makes off full marks etc in my mocks and school tests and my grades are always 95%,97% etc), do I have a chance at studying Medecine at Cambridge? My GCSEs aren’t the best but my A levels are pretty good, will my GCSEs lower my chances? Please be as realistic as possible thank you very much . ( I have a nice CV with lots of volunteering and doing cadets and some political work and also organising events etc)

Thanks

Also do I have a chance at imperial or Oxford? And which should I apply for?

If you're applying to Oxford, try this link https://www.uniadmissions.co.uk/the-big-book-of-oxbridge-applications/ it is a great resource as it offers advice, practical strategies and a step-by-step guidance through every stage of the process. Good Luck with applying!

I believe Oxford and Imperial are easier to get into than Cambridge for medicine

Cambridge looks at your GCSEs contextually so if your GCSEs are good compared to the results of other students from your secondary you should be good
