If you child went to Oxbridge what GCSE results did they have?

[MockBatter]

Just wondering whether you need all 8s and 9s for a shot at Oxbridge. My child just got slightly worse results than expected and says that has dashed their chances of applying to Oxbridge. Is that true?

In answering it would be helpful to know whether the child was applying from state or private school as I suppose that could make a difference in the grades Oxbridge would consider.

DS got 1x A, 4 x B and 4 x C in GCSE ( old grading ) at state secondary. Had unmet SEN. Needs were then met at state sixth form and he didn't drop one mark in 4A levels. Got a place at Cambridge when his other choices rejected him due to his GCSE grades. Cambridge saw beyond the grades. He does a job he loves but actually didn't need a Cambridge degree to do.
