What GCSE grades do you need to apply for cambridge university?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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
