I’m pretty sure that your GCSE grades are fine for imperial, since the majority of them are at least a 7 (congrats btw!!).
Imperial would be more concerned with your A-Levels and your personal statement (as well as your performance in admissions tests) so try to focus more on those. Good luck! ^_^

What degree subject are you thinking of applying for, and have you checked for any specific GCSE requirements on Imperial's website for that course?

I have, it just says the minimum grades required, but obviously, the people who get offers have gsce grades higher than the minimum. I want to do computer science (AI and ML)

GSCEs are really not that significant in the Admissions process - your A level predictions, PS and any aptitude test results will be FAR more important. Yes, you need to meet any specified GCSE subjects/grades, but your overall GCSE profile forms a very small part of the overall assessment. As an example, the weighting used by Bristol for Computer Science is GCSE 20% and A-Level 80%.

That's good to hear! However imperial (especially computer science) is so overly competitive that I thought that my GSCE grades which are fairly strong but not amazing as the applicants applying with all 8s and 9s would bring quite a disadvantage when applying, so I've been quite worried about that.
