AS AABB Oxford?

I want to apply for History and my predicted grades are A*A*A (in History, English and Biology) My AS grades were As in English and History and the Bs were Maths and Biology. My GCSEs are fairly good, 9A*s and 4As. Anyone with experience: how much to Oxford care about AS grades and will they ruin my chances of an offer?

You will be taking the HAT, a good score on which should offset the impact of your AS grades. You could get a professional opinion from one fo the Oxford ATs on here, but I'd personally give it your best shot and see what happens. Good luck!
