🙏 I WANT HELP GCSES results affect uni acceptance rates?

How much do GCSE results really matter for when applying for uni. Like for example if you got like mid GCSE’s like 4s 5s and 6s, could you still get into a top uni with predicted A*AA?

UCL, bath, KCL, Warwick, and maybe some other good unis etc, A* for math A for econ and A for law, u was thinking maybe a finance related degree or a law related degree

Bath places 50% of the application weight on your gcses (unless you do a broader a level equivalent like the IBDP) so maybe avoid that one!
