This isn't some attention-seeking post, i just want people to be honest based on what they know.
What subject are you planning to do at Oxbridge?
well assuming that you are not planning on doing physics and further maths I think that your UMS is good enough, (average 92%) that is close to the average that cambridge expects, the other two I suggest that you drop, just because Cambridge does take the UMS into account, however your GCSE's look very strong and Oxford I know does take that into account, and seeing as it looks like you are doing the three A-Levels you did well in, I think that you have a strong chance for Oxbridge.

1.) How well did you do in the essay competitions?
2.) For Oxford, the GCSEs are a big part of it.
3.) I hate you for that 100% in English. I really do. :tongue:
4.) Hey, off topic but Hertford is awesome :biggrin:
5.) I think you should give it a shot, but drop FM and Phys.
