Should I apply to Oxford?

AS maths is easy you could have got atleast 90%.

If you succeed in getting those grades, there's nothing stopping you; however you must perform well in the interview and the personal statement, but there's no harm trying

oxford don't see your UMS scores anyway, only the unit grades.

So they will see that I got a B in C2 and S1, but they won't see my overall score. I got an A overall, would they see that?

Well, I'm not going to get into Oxford, at this rate I won't even get an interview.

Yeah, however I'm not that good at tedious stuff. S1 I made a huge mistake on the last two questions and C2, I made mistake with logs.

I think I will get an average of 90% at A2. C3, C4 and S1 look easier.


Okay, I will try. I think I can do well in the interview and in the admission test.

So they will see that I got a B in C2 and S1, but they won't see my overall score. I got an A overall, would they see that?

There was only one log question in june 08, i messed it up i think? I got 94%

mhmmm, they'll see those B grades and see the A overall.

If you or your school don't cash in your AS grades they don't see any of your grades anyway, just your predictions.

That's my line.

If you or your school don't cash in your AS grades they don't see any of your grades anyway, just your predictions.

is it possible to leave grades as 'pending' on UCAS if you're getting them re-marked and don't want the universities to see the original suspect result? i don't know because i can't seem to get onto UCAS to edit my form today

My schools policy is that nobody cashes in their AS grades due to the new changes. The teachers can talk about what we got in the reference, so basically unless we want our grades to be put down the universities will not find out. Is this the same with anyone else?

It's the same with most schools.

oxford do not care at all about grades....just have 4 A predictions and don't declare your Bs

Usually it's a 3A prediction. You can't just 'not declare' grades either if they are certificated. A B wouldn't be a massive hindrance in any case.

yeh but thats the point - most schools don't certify them because they're only half your A-level and loads of people re-sit them so they're not "concrete" ...so actually u can just not declare grades...loads of my mates did that..they pissed about in AS year...got Bs...then just didnt say what grades u got but put 4A prediction..and they all got in to awesome Unis....

It's still very difficult to fulfill an AAA offer with alot of Bs though. If your school does certify them you have to declare your ASs and AS modules, however, this would by no means damage an application if it contained a B or so.
