How important are GCSE grades when applying?

I noticed that unis in the UK tend to be quite heavy on their GCSE requirements for entry into medicine. I was considering doing a bachelor of biomedicine before then specialising in medicine in Australia, but was just wondering how much importance is placed on GCSE grades there- is the focus more on A/AS level results? The reason I ask i...

Purpose of lower GCSE grades

Anyone else feel that the lower grades of GCSE are rather pointless, just a way to ensure that virtually no-one officially fails. In the American system a D is the only official pass grade below the average of a C and if you fail to get that, tough ****. With all GCSE grades below a C generally considered worthless anyway, might it make m...

Will LSE discriminate against me for mediocre GCSE grades?

Recently I've taken an interest in possibly doing Law at LSE but in researching it I've found that, according to others in a similar circumstances, that they pay attention to GCSE results.

Surely it's not just your final year grade that counts?

I've heard again and again how at Cambridge it's only your final year grade that matters, that your final year grade is the only one employers/institutions look at etc... But is this really the case? Don't employers often ask to see your degree transcript, which contains all your grades for each year, as well as for each exam? I don't see...

Does anyone agree in saying that ALPS should be of less influence at A-level?

So yet another depressing day for my academic route, apparently I'm not allowed to retake/remark/request my paper back due to my ALPS being at a C grade. If you don't know what ALPS is, it is basically a prediction/target based off your gcses and I believe your induction tests in sixth form. At GCSE the vast majority of grades I got were...
