Hi,
My DS is doing very well academically. He has 15 A* GCSEs, and is predicted all A stars at A-level in sciences and maths. He takes parts in sports, and is well read in terms of current affairs and politics (his area of interest).
He wants to apply to Oxbridge. However, he has a stammer, and has low levels of confidence and is not well spoken (partly because he is state educated in a low achieving school).
He was very keen on applying to Oxbridge, however he went to a taster day, and has been put off because everyone there in his words was posh, very well spoken, super confident, and a few came across very snobby.
Should I still encourage him to apply to Oxbridge?
