Oxford Med Application with 2160/2700 UCAT.

Hi there! I'm on the fence about applying to Oxford;
GCSE's: 9 9's (all 9's)
A levels: A* A* A* (all achieved)
UCAT: 2160; estimated 89th percentile
Contextual Home Applicant
I require an extremely research centred medical degree for my future career, but I'm not sure about my UCAT score, since it's equivalent to 2910 last year, and the average UCAT score invited to interview was 3090 last year. Please could someone with more information (e.g. admissions officer/current student) provide further advice or counsel?

As you’re contextual and have achieved 3 A* I’d go for it - I think this could compensate for your UCAT score, and it’s definitely worth a shot.
