Do Oxford colleges care about grades in the same way?

3

I was wondering if all oxford colleges treat grades the same. For context, im on a gap year with A*A* (history and politics) A (english lit) and applying for history. I was wondering if some colleges (specifically Magdalene, Lincoln and Oriel) have a “preference for academic excellence” and as such, would care more that I dont have the 3rd A* more than some other colleges?
Thanks so much 🙏

All colleges apply the same standards and all have signed up to a common framework for how they handle admissions in any given subject.

Yes. They apply the same standards.

If you are looking for colleges, you should consider Lincoln or LMH or Keble.

I recommend St. John's, Hertford, Teddy Hall and Univ.
