aha, i did edit my post as soon as i noticed i'd got your predicted grades wrong actually (:
but narr, if your predicted grades are above the minimum offer then it's definately worth applying! even though i am the kind that would rather take a risk than play safe, so it depends on what you're like a bit as well i guess.
i know yeah i'm the same, i cannot wait to get out into a city and start the whole insane city life thing.
that's the thing i'm worrying about with oxford, i don't want the hard work getting in the way of my social life :/
butt i'm sure i can balance it, ive been doing alright so far anyway aha (:
and yeah i think my personal statement was pretty good- after my tutor ripped my first two drafts to pieces,
so narr i'm good, but not quite the all round perfect Oxford candidate :P
& attendence isn't mentioned anywhere unless your teacher/tutors put it in your reference, which they shouldn't do unless they're particularly harsh.
you can message me your personal statement if you want me to have a look through it? i'm in a nice mood and pretty bored aha.
