Depending on the subject, you will need equivelant AAB in A-Levels. If you have these results there is no guarentee that you will be accepted. You will have to attend two interviews, and competition for places is very fierce. Cambridge also appose grades obtained in re-sits, and expect you to achieve good grades first time round.

Generally you need all A's or A*'s.

It is more important to get really good AS level grades, over 90%, so that your college/sixth form will predict you A*, this improves your chances a lot.

I got 5 A*'s and 7A's but I was so lazy at AS level that I only just scraped AABC, non of the A grades were over 90%, so now I can't go to cambridge which is really annoying!

So work hard at AS level!! Good luck in your GCSEs

You need A's in across the board in either Alevel or GCSE. Its best to have A's in both GCSE and A level because it makes you a stronger applicant. It also depends on what course you want to do. Like say if you want to study law you would need at least 5 A* at GCSE and at A level you would need to continue taking 4 A levels at A2 and then get all A*'s ... hopes this helps

Can you get into medical school with these gcse qualifications?

It depends on the university you want to apply for, considering that medicine is a competitive career you most probably need a minimum of 5*. However some universities are nicer and if you do extremely well in a levels then they won't mind so much about GCSE's. the most important GCSE's you have to concentrate on are biology, chemistry, maths. It would be best to get a* in them, it takes the pressure off at a level.

As their name suggests, predicted GCSE grades are estimates made by your teacher of how well you will perform in your GCSEs. These predictions are made based on the standard of your GCSE coursework and (in most schools) what marks you scored in your mock exams. For more information see Predicted Grades link.
