Are my grades good enough for Oxford?

Okay, do my goal is to do Oxford PPE, and I was expecting a fairly solid set of GCSEs that would help me do so, however, I got 4As and 6Bs.

It's worth noting that I'm going to a considerably better school for sixth form and I had tinnitus when I was doing my tests, which probably hindered me at least a little bit. I saw the GP about it during exams.

Is the dream over or is this easily overlooked given my situation?

I received 4A's in my A levels, would my application for Classics or CAAH at Oxford be competitive, or would most post A2 applicants have A*'s? Thankyou.

It might be worth a shot but your chances are definitely slim. PPE is an incredibly competitive course ANYWHERE, let alone Oxford. There will probably be a surplus of applicants who have great personal statements, reference etc. and also have straight A*s at GCSE (many of whom won't get in).

Still, good luck and everything.

Ive had a good look at the Cambrdige course too, seems that they are not so bothered about GCSEs so perhaps that'd be a better target...

Want to apply for Theology.



Didn't take GCSEs



AS grades:

A in politics (93% UMS)

A in English (around 83% UMS)

B in Economics (3 marks off an A, so getting it remarked)

B in History (also 3 marks off an A, so getting that remarked too).



May go up to 4As or 3As and a B.



Also doing an EPQ.



Predicted grades likely A*AA, but possibly A*A*A.



Thoughts?

Asking on behalf of a sibling. Would 1A* 8As and two Bs in two short courses (RE and Extended Project) be good enough?

I don't think cambridge offer PPE, right? I think the closest would be a combied course of Philosophy and Economics.

Yes, it's a similar course but not a PPE, but hey, Oxbridge is Oxbridge.

I got 8A*s, 4As and a C (a break down of my results here: https://annabananastyle.wordpress.com/2016/08/25/gcse-results-day/). Do you think I have a chance of getting into Oxbridge to study medicine or a related course?

I want to study physics at Oxford and got 7A*s, 2As, an A in admaths fsmq (which is the highest you can get) and a B in English language. If the B as in another subject I wouldn't be worried but I feel like English is an important subject so do you think I still have a chance? Also I went to a good grammar school and there were 5 people in my year who got 10 or more A*s so would that make it harder to get in?

Hi
Sorry to sound like an obnoxious cock but my minds being irrational
I got 9 A stars and B in arabic today.Is that good enough for Oxford Classics?

Absolutely don't worry about your GCSEs, they are perfectly fine for Oxford Physics (I got in with 4A*, 5A, 3B - one of my Bs was english language too!). And no, your contextual GCSE data would only be used to flag up whether you actually did well for your school as far as I know (again, my school, while not a grammar school, had a handful of people who got straight A* or similar in my year)

I got 4a* 3a and 2B at GCSE and wish to study Classics at Oxford. Do you think this is possible? Thank you

Wait, so does that mean if you have one of the best GCSE results in your school, Oxford will be more likely to accept you although your grades are not as good compared to private schools?
