Question 1)I want to apply to Oxford to study Hisotry of Art. I would love to go to Oxford , but in this particular subject Oxford doesnt appear on the Time uni Guide top ten? I know it's quite a new subject , but I wondered if anyone knew why this is, taking into account Oxford appears in the top ten for most things.
Question 2) I have all A* and A at GSCE's, AS - 100% marks for Art, 100% in one of my English module and a good A grade, Good A grade for AS History and a B for Maths ( 8 points off an A although I got a 100% in my Stats module!) I am dropping Maths to take an AS in History of Art this year and I am studying Grade 8 piano.
So what is the most important thing re applying, is the grades or is it the personal statement, interview, teachers references ? How important are other activities too. I dont have any great work experience or anything of note to add.
There are only 10 places for this course right across Oxford so it's a gamble I fear
