ARGHHHGHHAHGH

If you were thinking about applying to Oxford or Cambridge you had to put in an application at my college, which 75% of people did. After a lot of talking about it (my GCSE results were quite bad compared to who goes there) I decided to put in a thingy, but then I had to decide what to dooo

I put Philosophy and French at Oxford University, and when I told my philosophy teacher (Ex-theology student at Oxford) about my GCSE grade predicament, my teacher said i was indeed "borderline" and would have to get 90%+ to stand out, plus a definite A in critical thinking. He also recommended me to apply for Philosophy and Theology, instead, as that's like easier to get into because most language oxbridge students are AMAZING.

This seemed a bit intense for me, and I don't really like Theology (study of god/bible). Do you reckon I should keep with French and Philosophy? I might enjoy Theology but I'm not sure. I'd always liked languages.

And I'm not even definite that I want to do French and Phil. I was considering French ab initio Spanish or maybe Law. Or even something like Literature like. I wish I knew what to do HELP?!!?

And, is all this Oxbridge buisness worth it, really? When I know I definitely won't get in? My careers teacher said it was because it was only 1 option on my UCAS form, but urghh all this effort could be completley in vain.



Sorry for this long post, I've just been really stressed about what I want to do and have to start revising for my ASs soon because I am convinced I will fail.

My backup universities include: Royal Holloway [University of London], University College London, Nottingham, Exeter, etc. But my teacher also said UCL are harsher than oxbridge on some degrees in terms of GCSEs. I'm so pissed off, I really should have revised . But nothing I can do now!


I would have posted this on TheStudentRoom for obvious reasons but it's not working atm :S

HELP ME TIBBERS

FORGOT TO MENTION: I will be deferring my entry for every uni apart from Oxford [if I apply...] to gap it

EDIT: Ohh I forgot to include my subjects/grades:
GCSEs: 8As 3Bs :S
A-level predictions: A*AABb
