Year 11 student dreaming of oxford

Hi, I’m a year 11 student in a very low performative school outside of the uk with an average of 3/4s in iGCSEs. I sat the modulars last year and managed to get 6/7/8s. Do I have a chance at Oxford? Possibly for medicine?
There are also a lot of context and it would be a contextual application.

Thank you

can I ask what your predicted for English, science and maths as these are important for medicine and for a competitive uni like Oxford

thats really good, keep it up! and id say maybe try and sign up to online tasters and summer schools for oxford and maybe try get some volunteering work experience for medicine during the summer, care homes are great as they show care and empathy skills and are pretty easy to get at 15-16, also doing some supercurriculars during summer is good too

Thank you :biggrin:. I’ve wrote a lot of independent research paper relevant to medicine
Also did 133 hours of volunteering the past summer in different departments
Also had a shadowing I will obvi do more.
And I also did online courses from top unis and I’ve also read a lot of medical related books.
