Is it worth applying to Oxford with my predicted grades?

Hey,
I'm literally in the exact same boat- predicted AAAAA and an A* in EPQ and i'm super disappointed, but my school are point blank refusing to predict A*'s.

I'd say don't bother applying to uni's where you don't meet the minimum predictions as they are extremely competitive and will prioritise applicants who do meet minimum predictions.

If you are desperate to go for these uni's, consider a gap year? then you can apply when you've actually got your grades?

Still apply to Oxford and just concentrate on smashing your TSA. What are your GCSE's like as these are hugely important at Oxford?

Hi again, yeah I know, it's crazy and super frustrating!

Yes, I'm also applying for PPE and I'll be going for Oxford, Bristol (politics and econ), York, Exeter and Manchester. I did really want to apply for Durham, but after emailing admissions I was told not to even bother if I didn't meet the minimum requirements.

You've got a strong set of GCSE results and a pretty strong chance as long as you do well in the TSA- best of luck!

Warwick we're very ambiguous when I contacted them, they said it really depends on the individual applicant- it's rare, but they wouldn't say no.

LSE on the other hand said no, they want an A* in maths and it's a 'compulsory aspect of the application'
