So I've always wanted to apply to Oxford, since I was a little girl. However, I've just finished my AS exams but I've had a rough couple of years.
I've struggled with an eating disorder and self harm, as well as an attempted suicide in early 2015, and I feel that this has really had an impact on my IGCSE grades (A*A*A*AAABBC) and AS levels. I've been recovering recently and I'm confident I can score good grades next year.
I'm generally a good student; debate club president, regular achievement certificates for highest grades in my Geography/English class, and well liked by my current teachers. I also take music lessons outside of school.
My only problem is AS level Physics; I had to leave school for a while in January because of these extenuating circumstances, and found it really difficult to catch up, especially considering the course itself is rather hard.
Also, I'm planning on completing 2 BA degrees. One in Economics at Georgetown University, and then applying for Oxford for PPE.
My question is; do I still have a chance of getting in? If I show some upward progression. At A level, maintain a high GPA, get a good score on the entrance exam and good extracurricular activities throughout university and year 13, can I still get into Oxford for PPE?
Thank you in advance, sorry for the long post xx
