Hey guys, this is a Oxford reject thread. I recently got rejected and I am reapplying in 2019 for entry in 2020.

I might be applying for Materials or Physics, havent decided which one yet. At Queens College. I am predicted 2 A*s, 2As, and an A in my AS. I am doing maths, physics, chem and economics. And AS level further maths. I am also going to do biology, psychology and Further maths A levels in my gap year!

Physics is damn easy and very enjoyable. Just make a checklist and go through each topic everyday til the exam. Same for chemistry and get the cgp revision guide. I will definitely get my friends here. They should be getting into Oxford soon so they might be able to help prospective applicants like us!!

Let me guess. You are Pakistani Or Indian and you are an international applicant?

Haha why does that matter! But I am a UK applicant I am pakistani though!

I find Physics hard only as I have no teacher for it so I have to rely on past papers and books! What board do you do?

I wanted to take a gap year since year 12 so I think it will be good to hear other experiences!
How did you find the process?

I ama British Indian muslim. The applicatioj poricess is dreadful. I am self studying all of my A levels. I would recommend using the cgp revision guide. I did a past paper after using it for 4 weeks and got an A*. If you want, i can share my online versions. My name is abdus saboor shaik!

I can imagine ! A lot of my friends found it hard to apply to Oxford and are now waiting for the intervies!
That's really nice, if you are doing the same boards as me!
It must be hard self-studying everything!

I have no clue why I'm here since I have only just started college and am nowhere near smart enough to get into Oxford or Cambridge or anywhere like that (I got a 7 for maths in my a levels, a 6 for physics and a 6 for computer science and they are still quite nice grades (I didn't just do them but im listing them because they are what I take for a level) but not enough to get into Oxford or anywhere like that (i went to a really bad secondary school with teachers so bad and now that im in college i understand everything so much more but i basically had to teach myself physics completely and half teach myself loads of the maths that our school missed out). However I am enjoying a levels and suddenly understanding computer science and maths much more but physics is my main problem. Im finding it pretty difficult so any advice for a student who has just started a 2 year course in physics would be much appreciated (since you find physics easy) Also are there any things you wish you did at a levels or are glad you did that you can give me advice for in general. Im definitely picking up a CGP guide as they saved me for GCSE sciences (5 chemistry, 6 physics, 7 bio) Thanks

Hi everyone, I just created a thread specifically for Dutch Oxbridge applicants. You can use it to ask questions and find some info. I know applying to UK unis form the Netherlands is complicated, so come to the thread to meet some new people and find some people who are in the same situation!

Hiii, I’m thinking of applying to Oxford for 2020 entry for the chemistry course, although that won’t be by with taking a gap year as I’m currently in year 12!! I’m studying a-levels in maths, further maths, chemistry and physics☺️

I didn't get rejected - i have issues with my mother about moving out for uni and i knew deep down that even if i did get an interview, she wouldn't let me go to it. In the end i substituted it for Liverpool as they don't do interviews for Law and i really do regret removing Oxford. I'm considering reapplying for Law if my A Levels end up being 3A*'s which is what I'm working for.

I might take a gap year so i can work to the point where i feel financially stable. This year i applied to Durham, Bristol, Liverpool, Sheffield and Newcastle. (I hold offers for 3 of them already.)

However, if i do reapply to Oxford (I'd reapply to Linclon college) next year then i would also apply to Durham, Sheffield, Glasgow and either York/Nottingham/Bristol

Why does your mom have problems with you moving to uni. My parents do too. But for me its religious issues. I would seriously advise you to reapply

Thats great. This forum is for applicants and re applicants. Good luck! :smile:

hppe you get in. Applying after your A levels is a great advantage and gives you a less stressful applocation. Once you have your grades you can enjoy a smooth application.....

Hey guys

Looking to apply to Oxford but may apply to Cambridge instead due to GCSEs giving less weight when applying there than Oxford (My GCSEs aren't bad as there are a few A*s but I think I have too many As next to my name instead of more A*s

Course: Computer Science
College: No idea
Predicted grades: A*A*AA

go for oxford. As long as you dont have Bs its good. As and A*s are given a similar weighting. And I would advise you to take A level maths and another subjects this year. Get an A* in maths and an A in another subject. Then you should have a stronger applocatiom than the rest.
