Odds of being Accepted into Oxford or Cambridge Universities?
Hello, Could someone please tell me what my realistic odds of being accepted into Oxford or Cambridge University, for a Law Degree? I am of White British ethnic origin, and reside in the United Kingdom. I am from a Middle Class household and background. I received private primary education, but due to dysfunctional family matters I had to go to state-funded secondary education, where I am presently attending. I have been accepted into one of the best public Colleges in the UK. My hypothetical GCSE grades are: English: A English Literature: A Maths: B Science: B History: A Religious Education: A* Media Studies: A ICT: A Food Technology: C My selected college A-Level courses are History, Law, Philosophy and Government & Politics, of which I would estimate attaining straight A/A*s in these subjects for both AS and A2 levels. By the time I submit my University application in 2/3 years time, I hope to have a CV which includes: - At the Age of 10: Invited to meet Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as a representative of the Winchester Young Carers Project, of which I was a member as a young carer myself. - At the Age of 11: Elected Chairman of the School Council for my Primary School, implementing changes to the lunch hall rota system and menus. - At the Age of 12, 14 and 15: Elected Tutor Representative and then Chairman & Student Coordinator of the School Council, later taking a leading role in the re-branding and forming of the Student Leadership Committee as joint Student Coordinator.

Spoke briefly on a BBC Radio talk show for a Media Studies project. Again, all voluntarily. - Ages 16+: Created and maintained an amateur YouTube channel for broadcasting political views and opinions, publicly engaging and debating with other users. Channel gained 2,200 views in it's first two months. - Ages 16+: Volunteered at a local homeless shelter once a week. - Ages 17-18: Had an active role in the College Debating Society. - Possibility of taking a gap year after College to go to Israel, for educational purposes and possibly volunteering in charitable organizations based there, finance depending.

My skill sets include a good command of the English Language, ability to interpret and analyze texts, ability to creatively form and respond to arguments, hold passionate political views and have the a logical and calculating mindset. I speak a little French and Latin, and hopefully by the time I submit my application; fluent Arabic. Any help, insight or appropriate responses are all very much appreciated :) Thanks in advance, Phoenix
"I speak a little French and Latin, and hopefully by the time I submit my application; fluent Arabic." The most glaring omission from your list of GCSE subjects is a modern foreign language. The English Baccalaureate, which is set to be the minimum set of subject qualifications for university entrance, includes a foreign language. Just saying you can speak a little French isn't going to cut the mustard. Test results will. As for your AS/A2 choices, have you checked that Law is an acceptable subject to study Law at Oxbridge? There's some suspicion among the more academic universities about A-level Law - certain Law departments prefer more traditional A-levels such as English or a foreign language. Be wary about your GCSE Media Studies too. It's often regarded as a "soft option" for lower achievers.

I am to learn to design an english language learning website. It is said that the best known theory for designing educational games and websites is Keller's ARCS strategy. Please direct me to several websites or software based on ARCS theory so that I may learn and study how to apply theory to practice. Or you may suggest some COOL websites that arouse language learner's interests greatly by using VR, 3D, games, simulations or other cutting edge technology. Thank you very much in advance.
