Oxbridge STEM
I got all 9s and expect top predicted grades. The issue is I am not good at interviews as I am autistic. Do I have a chance at Oxbridge? Or should I focus on universities without interviews?

I would still try but I wouldn’t put all your options down as Universities that require interviews. Choose at least two where you don’t have to take an interview, just to be safe.

If you say you are autistic on the UCAS form, the interviewers would take this into account.

There are a lot of autistic students at Oxford. Do declare it in your application as it means they can take it into account when interviewing you.

How well are they supported though?

STEM interviews are technical so they're not like traditional job interviews if that's any relief. They are more interested in how you apply your subject knowledge. I have many autistic friends at Cambridge and they are well-supported here.

More importantly, I wonder which degree subject you want to study at Oxford? 😧
