7A*s and 7As in GCE O Level. Good for Oxbridge?

7A*s and 7As in GCE O Level, I am right now working on my A Levels. But, for now what do you think about these results if I want to get into Oxbridge or UCL? BTW, I want to apply for Maths or Physics, and I have A*s in both of them.

i certainly think the results could have you considered for an Oxbridge or UCL offer. My word of advice is don't be like someone at my college who assumed their place relied on just your grade, instituitons like that are easily over subscribed and have the pick of the countries best but you need to explain/show how you would benefit from them and how they would benefit from you. Make yourself stand out, have unique spins on how you've advanced/improved in life becasue at the end of the day that is what sets you apart

Yes those grades are more than good enough. However you still need good A level grades and supercurriculars. Also I've heard that Oxford don't take GCSEs into account as much as Cambridge
