Hiya,
Apologies if this is long but I could desperately do with another perspective here. While realistic about the likelihood of getting in, DD wants to apply to Oxford for English during her year out. However, for her A levels she achieved AAB with an A at EPQ.
From a google she thinks her college should be up for contextual flagging (never sent a pupil to Oxbridge, 2% to Russel Group, 5% to top third of unis, government deemed 'below average' etc), the A* was in English Lit (100% in Paper one and coursework), the B in art. She is now determined to take an extra A level while doing the art foundation she had planned for her gap year. Do you think this is worth it or should I break it to her gently that there's little point in applying?
Thank you
