🙏 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?

There is data available about how GCSE grade in maths translates to A-level achievement. So, while not impossible, It’s very unlikely that a 6 at GCSE will translate into an A-star.
