Are my GCSE/AS grades good enough for Oxbridge?

Do you know which colleges are more relaxed about it?

Hi, do you think i'll be able to get in Oxbridge with the following GCSE grades:

A* - English Literature
A* - R.S
A* - D.T
A - English Language
A - History
A - Science
A - Additional Science
B - Maths
B - Geography
E - French

Also do you think I should retake the French to be able to stand a chance? Or just leave it??
Thank you, i'd really appreciate a reply

I'm not sure, but have a look on the site at the colleges, they usually have the requirements on there. I had a look at the Cambridge site a while ago, and there was a huge difference, with one college requiring "5A*s minimum, preferrably 9" (EEK!) and another one wanting 5 A*-C. So I think the website would be the best bet! Good luck!

I'm in similiar situation as you; 2A*s 7As 2Bs,
I've taken RS,English Lit, History and Spanish..

Hi I want to potentially study History and English at Oxford:
Here are my GCSEs
Maths-B
Art-A*
Eng Lang-A
Eng Lit-A*
Core Science-A
Additional Science-A
History-A
Drama-A
DT-A
French-A

I'm not expecting anything less than As in my A levels. Is this ok? I go to a really good Grammer school and everyone got like 9A*s and i'm feeling really insecure about my GCSEs.

Oh wow, that's cool! What do you want to study at uni?

I've currently started my AS Levels; I have taken:
-Theology
-History
-English Lit.
-Spanish

For GCSE's I got
2 A*s (3 A*S if you count Physics as seperate), 7 A, 2 B's

This is from a public school.

I must admit I'm crazy about studying Theology at Oxford, would be a dream come true.
Do you reckon I have a chance, especially as I believe I should be getting AAA-AAA* at A levels?

Also should I be doing anything about it at THIS stage?

Thanks in advance.

Theology

Ahh, cool

Do you go to a public or state school??

Well I went to a private secondary school, now I'm at a grammar school for sixth form Why?

Because at private school, people get better GCSE grades, so the average pupil from a private school gets way better GCSE grades than the average pupil from a state school. They sometimes take this into account at Oxford. Your GCSE's may be fine from a state school, but they are quite average for a private school. Meh, I'm applying with 1A* 4A's 4B's 1C from a state school, but I have 3 A's 1B at AS level and A*AA predictions with a solid personal statement and reference. I dont rate my chances highly, but it sometimes is a bit of a lottery. Many talented people get rejected.

The way I see it is that AS Level grades A2 predictions, reference and Personal statement are way more important than work you did 2 years ago. I've been told Merton and Magdelen put more weight on your GCSEs than other colleges. I'm applying to Lincoln. Just apply, no harm done if you get rejected.

For my GCSEs I got: 3A*s, 4As and 2Bs. I'd like to study English at Oxford, but I'm worried my GCSEs will hold me back. Say I got excellent AS and A level grades - do you think I'd have a chance at Oxford?

I'm from a state school, and going to a state 6th form college,so I guess we're on the same boat, i'm just a year below. Wish you best of luck, have you sent off your application and the personal satement?

I want to study Computer Science at Oxford and I've got:
AS Maths - A
A2 Computing - A
AS Physics - C , will be pushed to a B after the practical resit

But at A2 i dropped physics and I'm studying AS and A2 further maths within a single year and should get an A. I am also studying A level ICT and should get a distinction.
However my GCSEs are pretty poor and they were:
English Lit - A*
English Lang - A
History - A
Maths - B
Statistics - B
R.E - B
Science A - A
Additional Science - B
Music - B
BTEC Diploma Media Studies - Distinction

I'd really like to go to Oxford but I think my GCSEs in maths and science are going to let me down. I go to a state school (The Armthorpe School). Is there any point in applying?

You probably need to be studying 2 Acceptable A level combinations in order to meet the maltrician requirements
