KCL neuroscience

does anyone know if KCL cares about gcses a lot? i want to apply for neuroscience (im year 12 now) and my gcses are 77666655 a 7 in english language but a 5 in maths which im retaking - im hoping my a levels will be competitive enough but im wondering if its still worth applying despite my lower gcse grades 😪

I don't think so - I applied in 2020 so no one cared for my GCSE grades at all, it's your A-Level predicteds and really your personal statement that they care about

Sorry this may be an invasion of privacy, but can I ask what your GCSE’s are for context

I had 11. Religious Studies I took in yr 10 (weird school policy), then the rest were predicted because of covid - maths, english lit + lang, triple science, spanish, geography, history, computer science. Maths was an 8 and all the rest were 9s based off my mocks. But I know that year unis didn't care much for them since they weren't "proper" grades, Oxford basically confirmed that to me in my rejection email lol
