I went with my son to visit Cambridge Uni, we were talking to the Physics Admissions Tutor, and I asked her, if they counted the Welsh Baccalaureate towards the exam grades needed, she said no, it counted for nothing with them. So I said "so basically it's worth Jack sh!t then". She almost jumped back and recoiled in horror. It was so funny actually to see the look on her face. I don't think she had ever heard anyone say anything like that before!I think I have to agree, albeit reluctantly. Not all universities are so tainted, but the Russell Group universities vetted by one of the youngsters in my orbit who's clever enough to have had their pick of them, were turned down because of the gut instinct felt on interaction with a cross section of of their students. The origins of these students didn't matter. It was the collective mindsets.
