Okay sooo.. I'm in year 11 now. In my predicted grades, History, English Lit and Lang, I had 9's. Maths and French I got 7's. Science a grade 5, Art a grade 4 and Performing arts a grade 8.

I'm planning (well expected) to get above 7's and I fit the criteria for the grades (7.25.) But there's one issue, my location.

I live just under 40 minutes away from it but it would take an hour by bus. Would I still get accepted?

Yes, the website says that only people that live 60+ mins will be rejected (and they still have a chance to be considered.) Many people will be commuting to the college from that distant

So even if my grades are good? Cause I'm planning on getting my dad to just drive me there as it'd be quicker and less than an hour

I also currently attend an aspirational sixth form, one of the best in the country for sending students to oxbridge , and your grades are good, stop worrying, are you going into year 11?
