Would you have it for History and Politics too, please?
Hi, I'm interested in knowing whether or not you guys think I have any chance at all of getting into Oxford since it's pretty much my dream. I fall into the lowest household bracket (under 16,000) and have 'mitigating' circumstances for my GCSE's due to the fact that I was going through the care system. I got 3A*, 2A 5B and 2C at GCSE (which is pretty poor) but my high school was an under-performing high school. At AS Level I got AABC, however on the B I was two UMS off an A therefore I am resitting one of my papers.
I did History, Law, Politics and English Lit at AS
I should be predicted in the range of A*AA or A* A* A. Have I got any chance at doing Law? entry requirements are AAA.

I'd imagine Oxford will factor in your mitigating circumstances for GCSEs so don't let those put you off applying. I know of people with offers having got AABB at AS and since your predicted grades meet the typical offer then on a whole, whilst your grades may be lower than the 'typical' applicant I wouldn't be put off applying.
If you can ace the LNAT, get a good reference and read about and around the subject enough to help you in your interview then you would stand a good chance.
There's no harm in applying.

We can't break down the profile to this level of detail so you will have to rely on the general profile as a guide - in includes History sole and all joint degrees with History.

It might save you a lot of time to just put all of the profiles on one page that anyone can direct people to!
Hi, all. So I just got accepted to the Year 13 Applicant Information Day in September. I'm applying for help with my travel expense (as I won't afford to make the commute otherwise), but I am at a complete and utter loss as to how I fill out the form? Is anyone else attending the event and applying for travel expenses? Does anyone know how to fill out the form? HELP PLEASE?

Oxford Pathways?

Did you get an email with an attached doc file?

Page 2 has instructions on how to complete the payment request form. They want you to put some bank details into an xl spreadsheet and email it back to them. If it's a problem, phone/email them. They are really helpful.

Yes!! That's the one! I've read the instructions, but I recently opened my first ever bank account (disgraceful, I know at 17) and I really have no idea what I'm doing? Will you be attending the Pathway? And if so, can I PM you so thay you can help me fill out this form!

Same criteria as before: applied to Brasenose, took GCSEs, invited to interview. Note that Engineering attracts some international applicants who do not have GCSEs so this is not a complete listing of interview candidates.

9A*-1A 9A*-1A 7A*-3A-1B 3A*-6A-1B 4A*-2B 3A*-2C 8A*-3A-2B 10A* 10A*-1A-1B 3A*-1A-2B 9A*-1A 11A*-1A 9A*-2A 11A* 8A*-2A 10A*-1A 8A*-2A 8A*-2A-1B 9A*-1A 7A*-2A 6A*-2A-1B
