oxbridge application

Last year in my lower sixth year, my results were ABC however, i had a really difficult year so have explanations for my low grades. I am determined to go to either Oxford or Cambridge to read History. For my upper sixth year i have been predicted A* A A based on in school exams and progress in class, however, i felt put off in applying to Oxbridge this year based on my weak AS grades. Do i have chance of getting in if i apply next year or am i just waisting my time?

Thanks :-)

If you get the correct A2 grades there's no reason why you shouldn't apply next year :smile:

If you get the grades you're predicted! Almost certain you'd get an interview.

Yes, but just be aware, most successful post A-level applicants exceed the typical requirements. (A*AA at Cambridge)
