Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

Hopefully it does so You're applying for History right?

History and Politics hopefully

I'm probably not good enough for Cambridge, so hello Oxford thread
With the way AS exams have gone so far, I doubt I'll get into either :/

GCSE grades: 11A*s 1B
A-Levels: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths (+C3)
Course: Medicine (A100)
College: Not a clue, I'll have to see when I go to the open day I've walked past all of them several times (hundreds of times) so I have an idea of which ones I prefer and which ones I dislike. Magdalen college is the one that's linked with my school so I've been there a lot. I don't really like where it is tbh, it's just off the High street. Plus it's quite grand and formal, and not really my thing. There's a college that's on the road past the sheldonian if you walk down a bit and follow the road past the psychology department and the zoology department. It's so pretty, but I don't know what it's called xD

Ahh good luck!

ayyyyyyy lmao didn't think i'd ever see you here aha

If you need help with college decisions I found a good TSR college breakdown yesterday which helped me:

Lmao, neither did I tbh
How's it going Ben? It's been a while xD

AS levels do weird things to people

Mehhh I'm good shame I can't say the same about how results day is currently looking in terms of UMS aha, how about you?

Thank you, you too! I was wondering, what are you reasons for being stuck between Oxford and Cambridge? Are you more into one over the other?

Yeah, I thought you were set on Cambridge dude? XD

I don't even want to see my results at this point. Like, just no

Admittedly, I've been dreaming about Cambridge since the start of the year, I even know which college I'm applying to and everything if I apply there, but I think that I might have a better chance with Oxford

Also, Cambridge's Natural Sciences course is very flexible so I can try out lots of different sciences, but I'm set on Biochemistry when applying to other universities so...not really a huge deal I guess

I was until AS levels started fairly sure i got 200/200 in economics should be 197 minimum, so I could probs apply to cambridge for economics with that and a 92-94% average for maths/fm but my heart wants me to apply for maths, and that maths UMS won't cut it for camb maths :/

ikr so nervous for results i just wanna boss these last exams

Would you (or anyone seeing this) happen to know whether you can submit more than one application to oxford in one cycle eg. 1 for medicine and 1 for biomed? Also, is it true that GCSE grades are more emphasised than AS grades, and where in the spectrum of oxford candidates would 12a*s put me? Also, do oxford require that all the GCSEs are done in the same year (I did maths in year 7 and Spanish in year 9)? Would I be required to mention this even if I didn't want to?

Thanks.

Why? What went wrong with maths? Tbh you've probably done amazingly

Sameee. Four exams left to go, we can do this! How many have you got left? XD

the best way to describe my 3 maths exam so far is choke aha, just got nervous and made some of the most stupid mistakes i've ever seen. yeah i was buzzing with how econ went, hopefully maths went better then i think , i'm sure you did much better than you think as well!

5 :/ chem2,s1,s2,m1,c3 what have you got left?

is it best to go to an open day by yourself or with the school?

I am planning to apply for history. I write poetry, have won various school awards, am a national champion for a poetry competition and I was awarded a place at both the Oxford Summer School in the UK and the Harvard Summer School in the US.
