The chances of being admitted to Oxford are higher than many students think

I work in admissions at the University of Oxford.

Many people think that a “clutch of A*s” is needed for most students to get into Oxford. In
fact, many of our courses ask for just three As at A-level. That’s still a huge achievement for
students, but not as huge as the five A*s that many imagine are needed. Roughly one in six
applicants gets into Oxford, on average.

It’s important for underrepresented learners to understand that the chances of being admitted
are much higher than they might think. Surely that makes it worth a shot?
