Hi @doorhandle86

Firstly, those grades are great! However, I think you should really consider why it is that you want to study at Oxford.

GCSE grades are very relevant, you have to demonstrate academic success at the highest level. But it is not the only thing they are looking for. I believe your knowledge will have to go beyond what you have learned at GCSE and A Levels. You will have to undergo a series of interviews where they will try to understand who you are as a person and you will need to demonstrate what else, outside of school, you have done or are doing to support your love of medicine.

But again, I would seriously consider if a university like Oxford is what you actually want and if it will suit you best. Don't place all your eggs in one basket, research other universities that you would happily attend too.

I wish you all the best!
