Hi,
I am a year 12 student, doing maths, history, biology, economics, critical thinking and general studeies for A/S...i really have a passion for economics and am aiming to do this at oxford (or if i dont get in, LSE Economics)...anyhow i have a few questions i would be grateful if someone could answer for me.
Firstly. Do oxford look at A/S module scores? or just the overal grade..and also do they look at your retakes?
Secondly. I have a lot of extra curricular activities, and i want to know what is the best way to play on these to highlight how much i have done...i have listed my grades and stuff below so some feedback from people who are at oxford or have offers this year would be grateful as im really not sure of what my propects really are and i want to know what i can improve on to further my chances of succes
Grades: GCSE's 11a* 2a.... A/S Module 1s - Economics A - 97/105 Maths A - 89/100 and Biology A 83/90
