I am about to pull of something crazy
6 years ago someone in my school pulled of 16 a stars in 16 subjects at o levels but didnt do any clubs thus even after this achievement was rejected to oxford . I took a bold decison to do 16 gcses while doing some clubs . Now this can be a bad idea i dont need to know about it cause we dont make right decisions we make decisions and prove them right .
my average grade in year 10 was c now ik doesnt look good but i assure you guys you are about to witness history btw i am doing igcse and i will sit for the may june examinations.
#recap of day one
BTW THIS IS NO JOKES.

Yeah... ok man.
Not sure if this is bait or what but...
If your average grade is a C you need to focus on what is achievable. You can get A*s, but not 16. And it's a ridiculous goal to have anyway. Nobody really cares how many GCSEs you have, much less Oxbridge. If oxbridge really is your aim, I need you to trust me when I say just stick to a normal amount of subjects and get A*s in those - the cost of failure is much, much higher than the reward of success (which is negligible) in this scenario.
Also, the reason that person didn't get into Oxford almost certainly isn't because they didn't do any clubs. It could have been poor interview, admissions test, a-levels, personal statement, or literally anything else that has any impact on uni admissions.
Also, the statement about making decisions and proving them right is makes no sense. You need to have some reasonable chance of success before making important time-consuming decisions. That statement could be used as rationale for literally any goal. "I'm going to jump off this cliff and THEN prove I can fly. Despite having no reason, or past ability, of being able to do so."

When did they do their A-levels and what types of A-levels did they do? (What type not referring to the subject but more the syllabus: Edexcel international a-levels, Linear English A-levels, Modular Welsh or Northern Irish A-levels etc).
I’m only asking this because there’s a difference between the way the exams and qualifications are structured.
But I wouldn’t recommend doing 16 GCSE subjects, I’d do 12 at a push. Then 4 A-levels or 3 A-levels + EPQ or the international baccalaureate at a push. Doing more won’t help with the application.

I meant A-levels, I’m referring to the dude who got 8 A*s at A-level.
When did they do their A-levels (exam series e.g Summer 2019, Autumn 2018, January 2022 etc) and what syllabus did they follow? (E.g international A-levels Pearson Edexcel, English Linear A-levels, English/Welsh/Northern Irish Modular A-levels etc).
