Hi, I am going into year 11 in September and I study:
•English Literature/Language
•Maths
•Combined Science
•History
•French
•Religious Studies
For A-Levels I want to study:
•Biology
•Chemistry
•Maths
And possibly AS-Level Further Maths. Can any medical students advice me on A-Levels and how to get into the Oxbridge Universities.

In terms of your A Levels you're good to apply to any med school granted you meet the AAA or higher requirements.

For Oxford we will need GCSE stats and BMAT stats as there's no point saying where you should apply without these stats.

Do you know about which type of work experience, super curriculars and volunteering they might look for?

First things first, you can't apply to both Oxford and Cambridge, it'll be Oxford or Cambridge.
Secondly, the reason why you consider Oxbridge shouldn't be because of reputation - it does not matter where you did your medical course for UK clinical training purposes. On the other hand, there are plenty of unique advantages to Oxbridge e.g. colleagiate system, excellent sports / societies etc. so make sure you are applying for the right reasons.
OK, on to the main question - Oxford is very GCSE heavy so I wouldn't even consider them without a full set of Grade 8 / 9s.
Cambridge, on the other hand, is much less GCSE heavy but they require A*A*A in A-Levels and is also fairly BMAT-dependent.

Oxbridge "trumps" medicine so I have moved your thread here to the Oxbridge forums.
