DD has just started the sixth form at her school and there's a lot of talk about who's going to apply to Oxbridge. Lots of her peers achieved 8 to 10 As at GCSE but DD only got 4 As, 3 As and 3 Bs.
With those GCSE results, is there no point in her even beginning to think about Oxbridge as an option? Her school usually get about 30 to 40 Upper 6th into Oxbridge each year but most of those have 10 to 12 A*s at GCSE. Compared with them she's not going to shine but there are always exceptions?
