Long story short. I am a polyglot and I prepared myself on my own for Polish, Spanish and German A-levels. I got A* (100% in both parts) AB respectively. The only thing is... I need AAA to reapply for my dream course at Oxford. My B in German is a total mistake, as I am often mistaken for a native speaker and I am even a published author in Germany (as a result of a competition for a children story tale in German). I also got highly commended in Oxford German Olympiad
Last year in my AS I got A (German) C (maths, improved hugely this year) E (chemistry, I didn't continue) and I got rejected post interview (spanish, italian) due to others being more proficient in english according to one tutor (no, it is not my first language and I cannot see how being a native of english indicates aptitude for language acquisition). The spanish tutor liked me very much apparently, as he deemed me to shine much more brighter during his interview.
Ironically, later this year, I won a poem interpretation competition (in english) led by Dame Carol Ann Duffy and got highly commended in the other tongue creative writing category (I wrote a sonnet in german, spanish, italian and french).
Anyway, the very fact that they invited my for an interview regardless of my terrible and certainly nowhere near oxford standard AS grades gives me hope that they might overlook that B, but this is such an easy excuse for a potential rejection.
What do you think? Should I reapply or should I focus more on my other options (My plan for the gap year is a year long course for Diploma in Hispanic Studies at Uni of Salamanca and then maybe to stay there)?
