Are my GCSE/AS grades good enough for Oxbridge?

Is this a piss take? Of course it's bloody good enough
Especially given that you're applying for a course with relatively few applicants to places, you have well over 90% in several subjects, and you did 5 A levels.

yeah i think it should be fine..but after i asked some of my schoolmates,they all got above 290 out of 300 for physics.. so i doubt mine is not good at all

Your grades are fine, trust me

But it's not just the grades, there's the interview too.

But you'll definately get an invite for interview with grades like that, and probably a greater degree of freedom to slip up on the day than most.

Good luck

Em...you're like the ideal Oxbridge candidate!!

Good Luck!!

Thanks, but just the ums getting to me , if i'm up against others with 280+ across board it isnt..... ideal..Just wondering how much it would disadvantage me in terms of getting an interview / pressure to perform at the interview.

Right, it has only occured to me in the past two weeks after getting my AS results that i have a slight chance of getting to oxbridge. I want to do Physics/Natural Sciences. TBH i am the bottom of the scale.

GCSE's: 3A*'s (Double Science and Maths), 6A's, 2 B's.
AS: Maths A 268/300
Chemistry A 260/300
Physics A 272/300 (280/300 with 1st module resit)

And dreaded French C (189/300)

I have dropped French and am wondering whether it will affect me.
For me to get high mark A's in Math, Chem and Phys I am going to have extra hard but am willing. But i am thinking of taking Furthur Maths to AS to aid my application. Would it be worth it? Taking an extra AS next year might affect my performance in my other subjects however my French mark for an oxbridge is terrible.

For EC's, i took part in an world challenge expedition to Borneo for a month and i went on a Sutton Trust summer school at bristol. I have got some work experience lined up at a local communications research company and i play alot of rugby.

Thanks

I was just wondering whether I would be a suitable candidate for Cambridge to read Modern Foreign Languages (French and another language- originally German... not so sure anymore.)

At GCSE I got 6A*s and 3As. However at AS I got:
French- 286/300 (A) - stupid oral!
German- 238/300 (B) - RUBBISH! (Resitting- will I be excluded immediately for resitting?)
Physics- 265/300 (A)
History- 255/300 (A)

My UMS' aren't amazing. I'm really worried- I really really want to go to Cambridge. I've done lots of extra curricular activities and reading.
Are they ok?

hi i was wondering if my results would be good enough for cambridge/oxford for medicine.

GCSE: 6A*s 4As
AS: AAAB

I'm thinking of applying for Natural Sciences (biological) at Cambridge, but I have a few doubts.

I got 11 A*s, and took 3 sciences, maths and general studies, which I got 5 A's in.

However, I'm a little worried about my ums marks. I've heard you need 90% in relevant subjects.

My ums marks were 99% in biology, 83% in chemistry and physics, and 93% in maths. Do I have a good chance? Would I be a strong, middle, or weak candidate?

Oh weak, very weak, you'd be lucky to get to interview .
You'd be a strong candidate of course do you seriously think you'd be anything else? 90% in three relevant subjects and 6 A*s at GCSE gets you automatically put in the pool if you aren't given an offer straight out, which shows how most of their applicants don't have that or it would be pointless to have at all

Does anyone else think that this thread exists to depress other applicants?

Seriously, if you have a bunch of A*s at GCSE, and at least 3A's at AS, preferably four, and are predicted AAA at A level, then for God's sake apply, it's only one more space on the form,and it gives you an incentive to improve your personal statement, which will improve your chances at other universities.

I'd say strong. Well done on your results, spesh on your biology...that's amazing!! I got 90



It's actually 7 A*s...
Cambridge website: "All applicants in this round (except those for Medicine) who are not offered places by their preference Colleges but have attained both 7A*s or more at GCSE and 90% or more in each of their three best/most relevant (i.e. where the subject at a particular College has subject preferences at A/AS level) AS Level subjects MUST be pooled in category P if not in another category."

So is there a chance of getting pooled even if you don't have 7A*s and 90%+ in 3 A-levels?
