My son is good at physics/maths and would like to study physics an university.
He's academically good (A* in maths A2 in year 12, As in AS physics/chemistry/biology, with 100% in physics and not far off in the rest). However he can hardly string a sentence together so I can't imagine him coming over well at an interview. Also he only got a C for English Lang for GCSE.
Would it be better for him to try for Oxford which requires an exam, or Cambridge which I don't think does. He's at a comprehensive so won't get any special training in sitting the Oxford exam.
Any comments welcome.
