Will one bad gcse matter?

I am applying to 5 unis- ranging from AAA to BCC entry requirements. My predicted grade is A*AA.

However, two years ago at gcse I got a one in GCSE History. All other gcses are pretty solid.

Will this affect anything????

If the unis do not specify any GCSE grade requirements, it should be OK.

You may consider adding an A*AA uni to your application. Good luck.

Should be fine. Maths and English Language are the two main ones they look at for most subjects. Hope you're not applying for a History degree mind you!
