If your child got into Oxbridge from a state school what GCSE grades did they get?

if your child was offered a place at Oxbridge from a state sixth form what GCSE grades did they get?

Just interested as DD says there is no point applying as she doesn’t have all 8s and 9s. Do you have to have all 8s and 9s to stand a chance? I know predicted a levels are more important but she says GCSEs come into it too. We don’t have her predicted A levels get as she is year 12.

She wants to read history. She got 5 9s (in History, 2x English, RE, Art), 3 8s (Spanish, Bio and Latin), 2 7s (Maths, Chem), 1x 6 (physics). So all 9s in subjects similar to History but weaker in science and maths.

DS was COVID year he got :

2 X 7
1 x8
7 X 9

4 A*s at A-level

Not at all

do you reckon? I thought it was a problem considering its a literate degree!

9 x grade 9 1 x grade 8 albeit Covid year so no exams sat

4A* A level.

But I think it’s taken in context of your child’s school so don’t worry too much.

yeah my daughters school was very good tho sadly. I know mfl is less popular so who knows
