any chance of getting into Oxbridge?

I know this is a long shot and very unlikely, but with grades AABC at AS level is there any chance whatsoever of ever getting into Oxbridge? I plan applying for Chemical Engineering and would be interested to know. I know it's very unlikely, but is it worth a shot?

Both Oxford and Cambridge want A*AA at least. If you can improve your grades and drop the subject you got a C in, you might stand a chance. I think it's always worth taking a chance though and trying.

I expect to get AAA predicted grades from my teachers next year, and I also know that oxford and Cambridge look at contextualised stats. Given that my school is relatively poor(special measures) and the A-level results aren't very good...do you think that would in any way make me stand out?

What's the harm in trying? With those grades you're likely to get an interview (well it depends on what you will apply for), and then you have as good a chance as any

Do you really think I could get an interview? I'm not sure about trying though as I don't want to waste an application, do they ever give interviews to people with AS grades like mine? :/

Cambridge requires at least 85% UMS in your best 3 subjects for inteview invitation, whereas Oxford needs very good GCSEs.

Well that's it gone then haha oh well

Source, please?

OP, what do you want to apply for, and what were your ums scores in the As?

"In general, in the absence of significant extenuating circumstances, competition for places is such that those averaging 85 per cent and below across their three
best (for Arts applicants) or three mo
st relevant (for Science applicants) AS subjects are very unlikely to be
called for interview. In years where the competition for places is particularly strong, a higher AS average may
be necessary in order to secure an interview."
