GCSE Results

Hi,
I want to apply for computer science at Emmanuel college this year.
I got 8,8,8,8,8,7,7,7,6 in my gcses. I know it is not super competitive but it was really good for my school. I take maths, further maths, computer science + an EPQ and I am predicted A*,A*,A. I was wondering if I have a chance of getting in?

Comp Sci is one of the most competitive courses offered at Cambridge and around 80% of offers go to applicants with four A levels, and 87% of all entrants have A*A*A* or better. That said, there is still a chance, particularly if you have contextual flags relevant to your application.

You might not be the most competitive applicant but you definitely have a chan and meet the requirements. There is no way to know if you don’t apply so I would definitely go for it!
