Average Oxford applicants DO NOT have an average A* percentage of 0.94. This is totally incorrect.
I'm studying at Oxford, I got very similar GCSEs to you and everyone around me has pretty similar in terms of GCSE grades. Surely you get the odd person who got 11 A*, but the majority of people only have about 4 or 5.
On the website it says there was a mean of 94% A* - but obviously if it's a mean the people who got 100% will have brought it up quite a lot.
It's an annoying criteria though! I would have got 90% but I got an A in an early GCSE. I could've got an A* but I was a full year younger and didn't really appreciate that it could be important one day!
Also if you smash the BMAT then you have a pretty good chance I hear because they're used together!
Has anyone else found that they've been getting calmer as D Day gets closer? Cause this time last week I was bouncing off the walls whereas now I'm leisurely sipping a drink.

I think Melthusa might be talking about courses at Oxford generally? Whereas you're thinking of Medicine where the average % A*s for a shortlisted applicant is 94.
Hi fellow Nerdfighter. Where do you get such detailed admissions statistics for Oxford, I've looked, but never found it. Not looking v for medicine BTW

DFTBA. If you google 'medical admissions statistics oxford' you get a page about it. Not sure if it works for other subjects, sorry
I'm watching The Matrix Trilogy tonight and I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow... probably more films/TV series. Might rewatch all of GoT to pass the time
