Independant candidate applying to Oxford.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know of any "increasing access" schemes for Oxford which don't require the support of a school? The majority of schemes I've seen are for students in year 12/13 and include a school's partnership with the university. However, I'm applying part of the 2023 admissions cycle through my 2nd gap year

Did you go to state school? If so, try applying to the zero gravity scheme

Hi, first off thank you (both) for the answer; it is much appreciated !

Secondly, I did attend a state school, however I am currently retaking 2 of my A-levels at an examination centre (due to certain circumstances) thus I doubt I am eligible for zero gravity because the first question is "what year are you currently in", so I am unsure of whether this would work.

Nonetheless, thank you for the feedback.

Zero gravity would still work - I did this last year and said I was Year 13 although I was on a gap year (and my age/application said i was on a gap year) so it worked well. The program was really helpful and now i’m off to study Geography at Oxford in october
