University of Oxford Theology and Religion with a foundation
Hi all,
Ive just applied to Oxford to do Theology and Religion with a foundation year as I do 3 BTECS with predicted grades of D D D. My extenuating circumstances are fairly good as I have been in care since y9 and have had significant disruptions while in Y10 and Y11 which led to not so great GCSE grades (4s, 5s and 6s). There's a fair bit more about me such as my mum not going to university but a lot of that is personal that I'd rather not share online ahaha.
Anyway I suppose what I'm asking is how good is my chance at getting onto the course? my personal statement is solid and I've added in a lot of super circular activities such as attending lectures, reading augustines confessions, the history of the Filioque and some others but also making sure to give my opinion on it. Ive displayed what I do in the wider community and my passion for learning. Any thoughts on my situation would be really appreciated but please nothing negative (of course statements that are down to reality are more than welcome) as this is my first time posting here
