I wanted to know whether you think I have a shot at Oxford:

GCSEs

2 A*
7 A
2 B

A Levels:

Assuming I get say, ABB or better

In the general Economics, Business management, mathematical areas.

(Also, for this exercise, we can assume I pass the interview too.)
:)

Thanks.

It's £15 for UCAS anyway, then £10 added on.

Not that much more...

Oxford interviews also last a couple of days at least. For mine they asked me to stay there for 4 days in December I think, so basically it meant me only going to school for 1 day that week, thats if i actually decided to turn up...

I started a Law degree at Dundee Uni and didn't enjoy it one bit.

I swapped to a Computer Game Technology degree at Abertay, graduated this year and have since been offered a full time job as a games programmer.

Don't put too much into where you go, what you're doing and where you'll end up.

It could all change very, very quickly.

You have to apply to Oxford / Cambridge much, much earlier than any other unis - it's a whole different application process and close-off date.
Probably so you can get rejected and then apply somewhere decent.

Sue universities eh?

That's one way of getting in.

20 people from my college year managed to get in. 20! It was the highest number in Wales.

Why?

If I didn't get into the coruse I wanted, I could still phone up and sue those unused offers, and knowing that I can't get into those Uni's for those subjects would allow me to rethink and choose soemthing different.

I got an Unconditional from Glasgow only two or three weeks after applying though, that's how much they wanted me.

I think most universities do, actually.

Aberdeen and Dundee do, anyway. Aberdeen's system is quite good - maximum of fifteen points, 5 for grades, 5 for interview, 5 for personal statement.

I heard Oxford had a points system for entry. A certain grade at A level = X points, or something.

Anyone know anything about that?
