1 A*, 4 As, 6 Bs, 1 C
Ok you can't get into Oxbridge, Birmingham you won't get into, since to get an interview they pretty much base everything on the GCSEs. Nottingham you won't get into, since minimum is 6 As.
Don't worry about your maths, you got a B, and usually a C/B is required. Cardiff- doubtful
You have to do your research on unis. What are you thinking of applying to???
But don't worry, most unis just glance at the GCSE results, but they don't base everything on that. Your personal statement is gonna have to be quite kick ass. Lots of work exp, charity work, voluntary work... play any instruments???
Hope I helped...

If you have 3 As at AS/predicted at A2, you can get an interview at Cambridge, but I wouldn't advise going it for it. And what everyone else said earlier - Cardiff, Oxford, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Queens Belfast, Nottingham and St George's (I think) love their GCSEs.

PS I'm 5'8" - bit of a short-arse but I make up for it in style :P Plus I'm hoping I do what my cousin did at 19 and grow about 6 inches in as many months.
