What's the point in trying to get into Oxbridge when everyone else has 100 A* GCSE grades and is predicted 45 A*'s at A-level (obviously an exaggeration but...)
Grades are only a part of admissions deciding who to give an offer. They also look at the individual applying - their personality, ambitions and other achievements. Grades will get you a look in, but you will also need to impress at interview.

If you are on target to achieve the typical Offer then apply. No exaggeration.

80% of applicants are invited for an interview to Cambridge. Getting a place is mostly dependent on your performance at the interview and exams (STEP, CSAT etc) rather than predicted A Level grades or GCSEs.

Nobody has got an offer without applying. I'm proof that you don't need A*s across the board at GCSE to get an offer.

I got 3 A*s at GCSE, AAB at AS, and A*A*A* at A2. I got into Cambridge. I have been here for 8 days.
