Your A levels will be far more significant than your GCSEs.

Just check that you meet any specific GCSE grade requirements, typically Maths and/or English, for each course, but other than that any scoring of your overall GCSE profile will be tiny compared to the emphasis on your A level predicted grades and your Personal Statement.

Thank you for the reply and I guess I’ll grind out this year to hopefully get a good predicted.

Then you don't need that 4th A level.

Hi there,

It would be great to know the subjects you achieved these grades in. a grade 4 in English language would not meet the GCSE requirements for LSE.

Secondly, while GCSEs are important, universities are more interested in your post-16 qualifications. Just ensure you meet the minimum GCSE requirements for the uni’s you have listed 😊

Kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)
