I have not applied yet. Because I need to do my A-Levels and for that, I have to save up for the exam entries and some academic resources for French, German and Spanish.
I will be starting the A-Levels in September 2025 and sit Maths in June 2026 and Further Maths, French, Spanish and German in 2026. So I will not apply to St. John's College, Oxford and London: LSE, UCL, KCL and SOAS until October 2027. Because I will apply post A-Level with my certificates and stand a much higher chance of being accepted.
St. John's College, Oxford has just about 10 applicants per place, but I am mature and have different kinds of other interests which I can put on the UCAS form.
SOAS is AAA and so is Oxford AAA, so I am hopeful of securing Oxford and SOAS offers but LSE, UCL and KCL are complete lotteries but there is a chance.
