Can I get into oxford?

I know this is a very overplayed question, but I have a couple concerns.

I'm aiming to study English Language and Literature at Oxford, but I'm not sure if my GCSE grades are good enough.

What I got:
English lit - 9
English lang - 9
Chemistry - 9
History - 8
Sociology - 8
Textiles - 8
Maths - 7
Biology - 6
Physics - 6

I'm aware I did get good grades, but I'm worried that my two 6s will potentially stop me from getting in, thus rendering my application pointless. I didn't go to an underperforming school (in terms of GCSE results), but it was a state school that required improvement (Ofsted) and definitely isn't known for sending students to Oxbridge.

I just started year 12 so I don't have proper predicted grades yet. For reference, my a levels are: English Lit, History, Psychology and EPQ.

I'm relatively set on applying, but I desperately need someone to just honestly tell me whether I should actually bother applying or not.

Hi! Thanks for your reply.

Currently psych is actually my favourite subject, and I'm performing pretty well in it so far. Honestly, everyone was right abt research methods being a dragggg though.

I was kind of thinking the same thing! I mean I don't want to face a rejection, but I'd rather face a rejection than the regret of not applying.

Hey,

As an oxf grad, I can confirm that these are amazing grades! GCSE grades matter, but your A level results will be the ones that count the most (plus - you have amazing GCSE grades anyways). I say just go for it. Considering youre in y12, I would recommend spending the year attending lectures/extra curricular stuff/societies/summer schools or anything else that will help your personal statement to show your genuine interest in your subject. Oxf is very very academic and they want to see a real interest in your subject. Happy to answer questions privately too! good luck with the process!
