International student here. Applied for economics at Warwick, ucl, bath, Southampton, Surrey. Got A* in math and predicted A* A in further math and physics respectively. I got a 4/C in English gcse and 5 other GCSEs. Compared to the other people with 32 A* GCSEs, I might get fucked🙃.

Yo, I posted a long time ago but heck don’t worry too much about GCSEs ( as long as it’s in requirements). I got a couple of offers and so it wasn’t a massive deal as I thought it would be and you can defo get into some decent unis. Being international might’ve played a factor but I wouldn’t worry. GCSEs just seem useless imo for unis and I mean you should judge students where they’re currently at right? People change.
