    Oxford/Gao Year HELP!!
    I'm currently studying maths, economics and biology and am predicted AAB respectively. The course requirements to study economics at oxford is AAA so I know I won't get in.

    BUT I am going on a gap year doing a gap year scheme at the BOE/Deloitte, and was wondering if I was to do another a level, such as further maths, French or psychology, and get an A in it, will I be able to get in or do they not include gap year a levels?

    Any help would be great thanks

    They don't look kindly on 3 year A level applicants unless there's extenuating circumstances I think. Best bet is to try and get 3 A's in the subjects you're doing then do a gap year and apply.
