Hi I'm a student in year 12,doing maths fmaths economics and chemistry
I really wanted to study Maths in Oxford and i am pretty confident that I would get at least a 95% in all of my maths according to my past papers
Economics was always my weakest subject but I enjoyed it so much, and I think i might have got a low A or high B today on my micro economics exam.
I have some questions regarding this issue and about applying internationally.
1. It seems like a really stupid question but IF i get a B in economics, is it actually the end of my life..? Meaning do I have 0% of going into Oxford?
Oh and are the actual UMS(?) or raw marks included in out UCAS application?
2. How do you calculate the overall economics grade? Is it just my micro UMS + macro UMS and divide that by 2?
3. I came to the UK last year (2015 March to be specific with a tier 2 visa because of my dad's company) and started studying A-levels in September. Even though I have studied in the UK do I still apply as an international applicant or do I just count as a UK applicant?
4. I don't have GCSEs. Does it have a detrimental effect when Im applying?
I know I should ask unis directly to be accurate but could you give me any help beforehand..? Btw I found out about the student room a few days ago and this is so helpful !! Xx
