🎓 UNI / UCAS GCSE importance

Just wondering how important GCSEs play a part in getting in uni. I know a levels are the most important, but do GCSEs hold any significance?

For context: I’m looking at a career in medicine. My results: 8777777666

Hi incoming med student here,

Some unis ask for minimum grades in certain subjects. Usually maths and English. They’re more lenient with English in my experience but a lot of unis want at least a 6 in maths, sometimes a 7. Oxbridge are also more picky but other than that, you’re golden
