Yes of course :smile: I am a Russian, who was born in Spain and has attended a British school all of her life.


I see. Well, I'm currently doing my GCSEs but from what I can see you seem to be doing perfectly well but I can't really say anything about your A levels because I don't have any experience. Lol. Good luck though 👍👍👍👍

Does scoring 39 points in the IB sufficient to get offered PPE by Oxford?
My subjects were
HLs:
Chemistry - 6
Mathematics - 6
Economics - 7

SLs:
History - 6
Chinese B - 7
English language and lit - 5

By the way, is my subject combination very difficult to score with?

I think you can, but you probably won't end up in a top uni!

What about LSE Economics and History? They have cited their conditionals as AAB, with an A in Maths. Which unis you reckon will accept me ?

Warwick my top choice.
predicted 2A*(econ + RT) and an A.(English)
They said in their open day that they have 1000 applicants and 200places.
Given that most people applying presumably have similar grades, how strong does my personal statement have to be? Assuming that i wont get offer on strength of grades alone..

Moreover, am i at a disadvantage if i wait two months before submitting personal statement? Our school doesnt require a first draft in until after half term, but talk of people already applying and recieving offers is worrying.

Don't listen to the other reply, you have a great chance even at a top uni, providing your personal statement is good. I'm sure a place like Warwick or Durham may give you an offer.
