Oxford or Cambridge?

which both oxford nor Cambridge. .

Wut.

Oxford's not the only university you're applying to though?

No. But I want to go to Oxbridge and I am only 15 currently. So I still have time! I finished my GCSEs and I am self studying.

You shouldn't have Oxford or Cambridge being your only choices. It's not worth it.

What are your predicted grades for your A-level subjects then?

and what course were you applying for at Oxford? Engineering science?

It's entirely possible you were rejected because of your age. It's very rare for universities to let someone in who's under the age of 16 or 17.

Materials sciences at queens

So did you take the Physics Aptitude Test?

So did you take the Physics Aptitude Test?

Yep. Flunked it!

Just wait for your other choices to respond then. But given your age it'll probably be a couple years before most universities will accept your application.

I got an offer from KCL and an unconditional from Birmingham!

Well never mind that then. Congrats on your offers.

If you plan on doing postgrad at Oxford or Cambridge, do that. In the meantime, it really won't matter that much if you don't go to Oxford or Cambridge for your undergraduate course. Just make the best of it.

First off, don’t be disheartened about the rejection as it’s probably due to age.

Secondly, perhaps it would be better to wait until you are 16 to go to uni? Obviously if you want to go now that’s great. However, you may enjoy it more if you waited as the activities you can do and therefore your social life could be dragged down a little, especially if you are under 16. (If you’d be 16 when you started then feel free to ignore)

There is a possibility there will be age related problems until you're closer to 18 (I think that's the youngest they'll GENERALLY accept due to maturity concerns - not that you're immature, just that there are legal issue around accommodating someone - certainly under 16 - without a parent/guardian). But what do I recommend - Cambridge obviously because, you know, it's the best. But realistically when you make the decision you need to choose the course which suits you most, and you're the only person who can determine that!

I am reapplying so I will be 17 when I get in!

Then go for it!! Oxford was probably just iffy about the age, especially as they prefer people to stay in uni accommodation, which could be an issue for a minor.
Goodluck

in Nuclear Engineering which both oxford nor Cambridge provide. Thanks...........
