But the proportion of high quality applicants for Computer Science is greater than that for Engineering.
Who told you that?
Original post by Oxy Boy
The stats, lol
Oh dear. I swear the applicants are getting more and more clueless
Original post by Lucilou101
Nobody ever has a fully equal interest in both 
But I do!
Original post by Oxy Boy
The stats, lol
No, they say that a higher percentage received offers. It makes no comment on the quality of applicants

If you had an equal interest - why did you come on here saying you were applying for CS and not ES?

It does not say clearly but it sure suggests that Computer Science is harder to get into.

Yeah, whatever.. lol!

A lot of prestigious courses get their stats skewed by the international applicants seduced by the Oxford name into applying without really being suitable or not fully understanding the applications process properly...

May be you're right but there is no guarantee that your hypothesis is true

He is right.

Ok, let me explain, my real interest lies in Robotics. Since Oxford does not have an undergrad course on Robotics I've to choose between CS and ES so that I can do Masters on Robotics later. I love physics, maths and computing, so I am pretty sure I will be more than happy to study either of the courses for 3 years!

Course: Biology
GCSE: I got 7 A's and 4 A*'s and 1 B. I was 1 mark of an A* in Physics and Chemistry unfortunately. Because I did my maths GCSE early I also did an additional maths qualification called (FSMQ) in a year and got a B in year 11. (It's basically an easy AS maths qualification).
Subjects: Biology, Mathematics, English literature & language, Geography
I have only completed AS (yet to complete A2) and got AAAB. (B in maths- 4 marks off an A)
I still feel like an unworthy candidate. What do you guys think? Please be honest because it will only be for the best.

Your GCSEs are okay, your AS grades are fine. The interview will be the most important factor

And for the college, I haven't got that far into it yet, I'm still considering if I should apply. I know I'm up against hard competition and don't really want to waste a choice applying. However I really need guidance and advice. Unfortunately my teachers are terrible and haven't really assisted me in choosing the correct universities. So I humbly leave it in your hands...

It literally says Course: Biology at the top
