Oxford realistic ?

You do not need four A levels to obtain a place to study law. You need to pass three A levels in any academic subjects, preferably taken and passed in one go. For example, taking Maths and two modern languages would be fine.
If you really believe that you are able to persuade some notional supernatural being to throw people who offended you in jail, I commend to you the works of Ibn Al-Rawandi, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Bertrand Russell.
It's great to have aspirations and dreams, but you have to temper those with realism. Where are these multi-million pound companies going to come from?

Well done! You appear to have invented Capitalism. It's lucky for you that nobody has ever thought of doing that before! Nobody should allow such mere niceties as having a sellable product or service, raising start-up Capital, finding a market, obtaining investor support, or dealing with regulators and tax authorities get in the way of a good idea. Who needs a USP when you can simply list a bunch of generic business concepts that you've seen mentioned on the internet?
I wish you luck in your get rich quick schemes. But I suggest that you walk before you run. Maybe, I dunno, pass some A levels first?
PS: The most successful American companies usually have branches all over the Globe. Globalism has been a thing for quite a while. As for hitting it big in China, the Chinese may have something to say about that. They are quite active in making stuff, selling stuff, and buying up large chunks of the US, Europe, and Africa. You might wish to do a bit more research. That amazing thing you've invented and are going to call a wheel? Somebody else invented it a few years ago.
If you can really improve on an iPhone, but are short of £500 quid or so for exams, why not get Apple to sign an NDA tomorrow and share with them your great idea in return for a bazillion dollars? Are you going to make a watch that Brad Pitt will like more than a Vacherin-Constantin in your spare room?
TL/DR? The title of this thread includes the word "realistic". It's great to dream big, but reality intrudes.

On results day this year I got mainly 8’s in everything with one 9 in an irrelevant subject and a 7 in maths. I would want to do physics at Oxford. I am a very capable mathematician meaning I can still do further maths a-level at sixth-form. In past papers under exam conditions I was consistently getting 8’s or close to 9’s. The stress of the exam often made me preform worse though, with me even getting 6’s when I’m the exam hall sometimes. I was expecting an 8 on results day but was particularly anxious during the exams paper one and two making me loose marks on grade 3/4 topics through misreading the question or missing a part A.
I have been very disappointed in this grade, especially as I knew I had the ability to do higher, is it worth the resit in November? I’m doing maths, further maths, physics and classics a-level.
I was also predicted a 9 in physics but night before the exam and morning I had a high fever and was genuinely quite unwell which threw me off obviously but I think it’s less relevant.
I know these are excuses but want to know how impactful this 7 in maths rather than an 8 will really be.

Hello OP, have your thread back! As mentioned above, you may still have a realistic chance, subject to all the usual caveats. Give it a go. Have a Plan B. Best of luck!

The inc5000 companies list has so many companies that make at least $2 million dollars per year or more and the ideas are not too difficult to also startup. So it is totally realistic. If you look at just a few of the companies on the inc5000 list, you'll notice they don't have any offices here in London, EU, Middle East, Asia, Australia or even Africa?! 🙂

"I know what to do! I'll sell people food, clothes, and other stuff. I'll have a business doing, er..., products, and, er..., services".
Yep, that's an original business plan! Send us a picture of your Learjet when you get it, but, in the meantime, don't forget those pesky A levels.
PS: Two million dollars, eh? That's two whole Dr Evils.

Some Hedge Fund managers find a law degree useful when the the SEC or FCA is trying to throw the Hedgie in jail for fraud. At least the law graduate Hedgie can understand half of what the lawyers are saying.
The Financial Markets are not always what they seem. Watch The Big Short if you haven't seen it already. It's fun, and also accurate.
Joking apart, you seem to have a million plans to make a million. It might be prudent to find one good plan and try that, rather than run several plans at once, or change plans every ten minutes.
Even in the shorter term, before you establish your mighty business empire and become richer than Croesus, maybe try to find a course and steer it for a while. Not that long ago you were crazy keen on Cambridge and appeared to think Oxford a bit naff. Then you were crazy keen on St John's, Oxford. Now you seem crazy keen on Wadham. It's fine to change your mind, but there will come a point at which you have to make the shot. As always, good luck.

Last night I had a very vivid dream from God almighty:
“I was in an Oxford tutorial with a professor, a chap and a blonde girl and we were discussing our essays.”
Then the second part:
“I was at an old college with beautiful buildings and walked into a spacious library with lots of law books and I had a laptop on a desk and dimmed lighting where I was writing on paper too.”
So, God is telling me I will get accepted into Oxford.
PS: More importantly, my hard work will pay off with A* and A grades in my A-Level exams. Because, I have every past paper from January 2001 to June 2023, for all my subjects and all the examboards.

You don’t have millions to donate to any university. You haven’t applied to Oxford, let alone received an offer from a specific college. You haven’t sat your A level exams and you cannot guarantee, even with your 3 year long plan (which seems to keep increasing, judging from your posts a few years ago), that you will achieve top grades. Specifications change over time, so doing past papers from 2001 will be of little use to you in all honesty. I admire your ambition, really I do, but you lack realism. Your plans are unrealistic and despite being offered realistic advice by many people on various threads, you choose to live in this strange Oxford-obsessive state of delusion. I don’t know if you will ever sit your A levels or apply to Oxford, and frankly, I don’t think anyone really cares at this point. You claim to be a mature student, but I see little maturity being displayed in this thread. You can talk the talk but it’s quite obvious that you are not walking the walk. You’ve derailed this thread and made this conversation about yourself and your obsessive, unrealistic plans. Instead of becoming a walking fact file, maybe you could listen to what others are saying when they try to advise you? Lastly, your dreams have little relevance to those who are not religious - coming from a religious person.
P.S. OP, your GCSE grade in maths should be fine, so long as you achieve the required grade at A level. I wouldn’t bother resitting if it’s to go from a 7 to an 8. I doubt it would make much of a difference.

1. Where did I say I had millions to donate? I clearly said, I have plans to startup multiple businesses with global offices and that will give me millions.
2. Oxford is just one choice, I am also considering the LSE, UCL, KCL and SOAS.
3. I have the resources from every textbook and revision guide and past papers, so I am prepared for A* and A grades success inevitably so.
4. Past Papers in Maths and Further Maths especially don’t change much in the topics featured in the examinations. Similarly, for languages, the content has not changed much and similar questions always appear in the exams, so the questions are still highly relevant to the current specification.
5. My plans are not unrealistic as you have not read all my posts on this thread. Neither have I fully explained nor presented my business plans and ideas.
6. I will sit my A-Levels, as I have explained, I don’t have the funds yet to do so but will in 18 months.
PS: I am applying to "THE APPRENTICE UK" and so I must gain all my A-Levels and certifications as well as degrees too.

Nobody can guarantee that their business ventures will make them millions. That’s a very bold assumption for you to hold. If Oxford is “just one choice” why do you seem so obsessed with it to the point that you come on here to prove your point with dreams? Dreams mean nothing in reality. They are simply the result of a cognitive process involving the subconscious. Who’s to say that you even gain offers from your other choices? LSE is just as competitive as Oxford. KCL and UCL are just as competitive as each other and not far behind Oxford and LSE. Realistically, your best chance at the moment, as someone who hasn’t sat their A levels, is probably SOAS. You may be prepared for A*s and As but grade boundaries change. You cannot guarantee a grade. There’s no point in doing more than 3 A levels. I don’t need to know the intimate details of your “plans” to know that they are unrealistic. You should also be aware that Oxford, (and potentially some other universities) don’t tend to like applicants who don’t do 3 A levels in one go. Regardless of your circumstances, they will be looking for students who can keep up with the rigorous pace at the university. If you cannot manage 3 A levels in one go, how do expect to manage Oxford law? If money is an issue, why don’t you save up to do three in one go? Once again, you have missed the point of a response to your posts. There are people on here that know much more and are far wiser than you. You may be able to regurgitate information, but the bottom line is, you don’t listen. If you can’t understand and take into account other viewpoints, what chance do you have at an institution like Oxford - or better yet, law entirely?
You don't know whether the anonymous poster is or is not a tutor at Oxford or any other university. I am not that poster, but I agree with what he or she writes above.
I don't teach at Oxford, but I have taught there in the past, and at some other universities more recently (one good, one bad, one medium). I sometimes chat to people who are involved in admissions at Oxford and at KCL. It appears to me, that, if you present yourself in your applications to competitive universities (if you ever make such an application) as you present yourself in this forum, you might not impress those who make the admission decisions.
You don't appear to be a good listener, but listening is one of the ways by which we learn. Oxford is about reading, writing, talking, and listening. The law is the same.
You can't tell whether a dream is sent by whatever you consider God to be or caused by eating cheese. As noted above, dreams are just things which our subconscious minds throw at us. Walter Mitty had a lot of dreams.
OP, if you are still here, there is wise advice from Anon above. If you have a 7, there's probably not much point in trying again to get an 8 or a 9. In Blackjack terms, stand, don't hit, and wait to see what the Dealer has.

Obviously, you do know the admissions tutor(s) at Wadham? 😧 But I am slightly inclined to St. John's, Oxford but who knows which other colleges may take to my liking on the Open Days. 😉
Wow...KCL is right near the High Court and I have taken a photo there a few years ago. lol 😀 I would be happy to study at KCL too. My cousin graduated from the LLM masters degree at KCL a few years ago and it was very diverse and cosmopolitan.
I can listen when it is necessary, especially if they're truly helping me or a 'superior' figure of authority. TSR is just banter and often fun.
Dreams are from God and future events are often foretold in good dreams from God. Especially those who remember God little but often.
I might have been faking. I know the Law Dons at Wadham, and also know some academics at KCL, QMUL, RHUL, and some other places. They are a brainy bunch, and the ones at Wadham and KCL (and to a lesser extent QMUL) have the luxury of being very picky about new undergraduates.
I can never quite tell if you are for real or are just trolling the forum. Oh well, we all need a hobby.

I will determine the choice of Wadham or St. Johns after the Open Days in September 2026. Inshallah God willing so.
I don't really want to live in London for my Law degree and I would have to commute and live at home. ☹️ Also, there is more walking to be done with London: LSE, UCL, KCL and SOAS. But Oxford has over 100 libraries and the college serves meals which are nice and it is just 8 weeks per term, i.e. less than half the year. 🙂 lol
I wanted to originally apply to American universities for Spanish or German and then do a JD/MBA program. But I had obstacles in my way and it did not happen, unfortunately.
The provision of meals by your college in a sociable setting is one of the good things about collegiate universities.
The food at Wadham is, to be blunt, a bit ordinary. The food is better on High Table, and the wine is excellent, but I assume that wine isn't your thing. I haven't lunched or dined at St John's for years, so I have no idea what the food there is like these days. More great wine, but most colleges have great wine (they have buying power, and cellars). The best college food at Oxford might perhaps be at Merton (or All Souls, but that's not a college for undergraduates).
Obstacles are to be overcome. If you see a fence blocking the path, climb it, or jump over it.
You won't listen, but I shall try one more time. Do three A levels and only three A levels. Do them all at the same time. Apply to five universities, including at least one that is not super-competitive. Don't distract yourself with professional exams while preparing for university. Rely on yourself. Don't rely on God. He is either fictitious, or he's busy, or he's capricious. Good luck.

We do prefer that students take the most rigorous programme available to them, so an A level student, for example, should normally take four A levels rather than three.

Wow...Wadham College is oh so very beautiful!!! 😀 I will definitely visit in September 2026.
A chap from my old school got accepted into Wadham College to study Physics, so it must be making offers to state school sixth form pupils?!
I am impressed by the architecture and especially the library at Wadham College!!! 🙂 lol
It is arguably the most stunning library alongside St. John's College's latest construction of its study centre and library.
St. John's College's library does not have the beauty of the staircases at Wadham College's library?! 😧 lol

You don’t want to live in London for university but 4/5 of your choices are in London - how does that work then? As unbelievable as some of your posts on TSR are, unfortunately I do not think that you are a troll. For your own sake, take the advice of people who know more than you.
I am curious to know why you cannot finance your own exams, as you claim to be in your 30s at least. This is not to shame you in any way, but do you have a source of income? If not, have you looked into governmental bursaries and grants to finance your post-16 education at all? For most courses, including law, there is no advantage to doing 4 A levels as opposed to 3. It’s better to just meet the minimum than risk pushing yourself beyond your limits unnecessarily.
Lastly, I am not an admissions tutor at any of the establishments you’ve named, but what if I were? What sort of impression do you think your response (coupled with some of your previous posts on this thread and others) would have left on an admissions tutor for say, law at Wadham?
Wadham's library isn't empty all that often. After all, it's a great place to catch up on sleep. I think that the photo of the library posted a page or two above was taken early in fresher's week, when everybody was in the pub.
The University of Exeter would be a good choice for any aspirant lawyer/finance bro/billionaire. Having said that, Exeter hasn't anything like Radcliffe Square.
The Radcliffe Camera is another library that is rarely empty. For a quieter sleep, you can go to the All Souls Library (visible on the right of the picture). It's not called the Codrington any more, because of the source of Christopher Codrington's endowment.

Harvard was founded by some blokes from Cambridge, so Harvard is the granddaughter of Oxford. I gather that the plan was to have a bunch of colleges making up the university, but they ended up with just the one (same as Dublin).
God and his angels must be a busy bunch, because it's always 3.30 or soon to be 3.30 somewhere. That's what happens when you make a round planet and make it spin while it whizzes around a big burny thing in space. I'm not sure that God has thought this one through. Also, angels answering prayers sounds a tad polytheistic. Isn't Islam supposed to be the most mono of monotheisms? The Catholics started praying to God's Mum and to lots of Saints, and look where that ended up.
