(1) Look up the admission requirements on the University of Oxford website.

(2) Work hard, aim for or have achieved good GCSE grades, aim for good predicted or achieved sixth form grades, prepare well for any subject-relevant admission test, and engage in super-curricular activities relevant to the subject you wish to study at university. Read widely. Visit Oxford on an open day if you can (and haven't already done so).

(3) Consider other universities where you would like to study if Oxford don't offer you a place.

Good luck.

Admission requirements are AAA for many "Arts" based degrees and for most "Science" based degrees the entry requirements are A*AA or even A*A*A.

I wonder which degree course you're considering applying for at Oxford?

What are your GCSE grades and subjects?

Lastly, are you predicted AAA grades at least, if it is an "Arts" based degree? Or A*AA if it is a "Science" based degree?

I am still in the tenth grade. I have two years ahead of me. I am a student from Jordan and I want to study medicine.

Then you will need A+ and A grades in your examinations, especially in Biology and Chemistry.

Oxford's website can be viewed from Jordan, as far as I am aware.

What qualification will you be sitting for?

Per Oxford (https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/applying-to-oxford/for-international-students/international-qualifications), Jordan's Tawjihi (General Secondary Education Certificate) is not an acceptable qualification for the purposes of undergraduate admission, so do check that your qualification will be accepted.

Also, as with all UK medical schools, Oxford has a quota for international fee status medical students (currently 14 students across both the standard entry and graduate-entry/ accelerated Medicine courses). See https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/course-listing/medicine and https://www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/study/medicine/pre-clinical
