Can I get into Cambridge with a * AB?
According to the 2018 stats, an offer-holder for arts/humanities/social sciences who ends up getting A*A*B would have a 2/3 chance of acceptance (or higher, since some people who receive offers decline them). Even offer-holders who get below AAA sometimes get accepted (around 5% of the time).

Where do most Oxbridge rejects go?
Mostly, Oxbridge applicants will want to go to the best university possible for their subject, and if their application to Oxbridge falls through that will often send them to Durham/UCL (arts subjects), LSE (social sciences) or Imperial (science subjects). Other common ones are York, Edinburgh and Exeter.

You can appeal, but I wouldn’t advise it. If they rejected you, there’s a reason for that, and it may simply be that all those who were accepted suited the course better.

Does Cambridge look at Top 8 GCSEs?
Cambridge looks at your top eight, Oxford looks at them all. Only regarding their context versus your school, and your school vs the rest of the cohort. They can still look at individual GCSEs if they want. And in any case GCSEs are not hugely important for either Oxford or Cambridge for most courses.

IS A * A * AA enough for Cambridge?
A*A*A* is good. A*AA is still good, but obviously mathematically inferior. But the fact of the matter remains, and this is the point of the thread, that having 3A*s isn’t a prerequisite to getting into Cambridge. Of course they’ll prefer someone with 3A*s to A*AA when their applications are identical otherwise.
Do Cambridge care less about GCSEs?
Not as important as AS UMS marks – Cambridge arguably care less about GCSEs than any others out of the top 5-6. 1) If you do WELL at AS (like 90+ at least), then as long as you have 3-4 A*s at GCSE, and the rest As (maybe a B) then your GCSEs won’t hold you back.
