1/ I thought whilst I’ve got nothing to do that I’d post a thread about something on my to-do list. For anyone who’s thinking of an Oxbridge application this year, this is very relevant.

2/ Disclaimer: I got an Oxbridge offer (Girton College, Cambridge), but for a number of reasons (missing my offer on first marks, not updating on remarks/voluntarily withdrawing, city life, etc) I didn’t take it. But this thread will share my experiences & what helps!

3/ I’ll be focusing on economics for this thread. Firstly, if you’re predicted high grades (with straight As, and most likely an A* somewhere), apply! You have nothing to lose.
