Can I Get In To...

Is it possible for me to get in to Cambridge or Oxford i attend a normal state secondary school [sixth form] in the UK.

Right..... :colondollar:

My GCSE are as Follow;

Maths A*
Physics A
Chemistry A
Biology B
Eng Lang C
Eng Lit C
ICT D
Business Stud. E
Humanities C
Citizenship [short course] B


The A-Levels I am Currently Studying are

Maths; Grade i should Achieve: A
Further Maths Grade i should Achieve: A
Physics Grade i should Achieve: A/B
Chemistry Grade i should Achieve: D/E [don't ask about it i had 3/4 teachers]


I'm not being c0cky here but i did C1 & C2 in Yr 10 and them C3 in Yr 11
but i had to retake for some stupid reason as my teacher said i will have problems applying to university, if i carried on i would have finished my maths a-level this year.

Hopefully next year i hope to take on:

Maths; Grade i should Achieve: A*
Further Maths; Grade i should Achieve: A*
Physics; Grade i should Achieve: A
I may take on Further Additional Maths [50/50%]



so are there any chances or me getting in to CAMBRIDGE or OXFORD
i want to study Maths/Physics, if i don't get in to them i hope to apply to Imperial, UCL, Warwick

Sorry to break it, your AS and GCSE grades will probably hinder you.

That was my initial Thought
You will be up against candidates that got double digit A*s at gcse, and Brilliant ums averages at AS. Why should they chose you over them? You're going to need to seriously impress with STEP etc.
