Oxford medicine

I’m in yr 12 and predicted all a*s in maths bio chem and an a in my epq. I have yet to sit the Ucat but my mock scores are around 3000 b1 and I’m hoping for 3200. My GCSE’s are quite weak I have a* a* a* a a a a b b c. I resat my English language gcse and received a grade 7 or Oxford equivalent A. However my b b c in photography, computer science and Spanish respectively don’t look so good. If I achieved the Ucat score and wrote a great personal statement. Will I even get an interview?

You sound like you have a chance. How come you list your GCSEs in "a*..." instead of "9-1" grading?
Admissions test score counts for a lot though, so do well in that and make sure you are excelling in your A level work. Keep trying hard and an interview wouldn't be an impossibility. Of course, not getting an interview is also possible so make sure have backup plans.

you definitely sound like a prime candidate, but youre only in year 12 right? youve already done enough UCAT practices to get a prediction? do you think i should be practicing too?

I see, thank you for your feedback. Is there anything I could do to get a chance? I do many extracurricular and supercurricular activities like volunteering at my local hospital for 2 years now and participating in olympiads and the UKMT. I'm part of my school's cheerleading team and we have won 2 competitions. Sorry if I am spilling my personal statement on you. But if you're saying I don't have a chance at getting into Oxford because of my poor GCSEs what universities would you say I have a chance at?

I would post this on the main medical thread.They are the experts at playing to your strengths.I hope you understand I am being cruel to be kind.There are many good med schools in the Uk but you have to be realistic and strategic with your
choices.
@MedMama could you help here?

To be honest no.Oxford Medicine are looking for 10 grade 9/8 and although some contextualisation goes on you should concentrate on other medical schools.

Is 9 grade 8/9 fine as that is how many my school let me take. I also have a contextual element as most people in my school don’t pass English and math

Hi,
I am currently in year 22 and I am planning to apply to Oxford for medicine. I got 99999999888 (8s were in English language, English literature and Spanish) and I was wondering if my GCSE grades are good enough to consider applying since I got 3 8s and not all 9s.
I am also only taking 3 A levels in maths, biology and chemistry. In terms of volunteering/ work experience, I help out at my old primary school with SATs preparation, I help out at year 7 science club, I do science mentoring at school, I tutor GCSE chemistry and I am doing a teaching programme at school where you develop skills to become a teacher. I am also part of the Kucy Cavendish AAP scheme. I have done 1 day of work experience with a paediatrian at a hospital.
Is there anything else I would need to consider to make my application as competitive as possible to study medicine at Oxford?

Yes absolutely fine and jolly well done getting those results in your situation.

Is 9 grade 8/9 fine as that is how many my school let me take. I also have a contextual element as most people in my school don’t pass English and math

No you are all good with Lucy Cavendish.Have you looked at UNIQ Oxford It opened 13/12
