Is it true that Oxbridge require a minimum 8 A GCSE results for applications? I know a very disappointed 16 yr old who thinks he hasn't got high enough GCSE grades - he got 7 As and 3 As. Please advise. I looked on their website and it looks like they base their offers on A level (and AS level) alone.

It's not true. They tend to place more emphasis on gcses than Cambridge and a large percentage of applicants will have straight A stars, but they're in with a good chance as long as they're predicted a star at a level and have a good ps.
