Honestly, wished i applied to Oxbridge when i was 1st applying in 2022, but its fine! ended up with A*A*A*A and I'll be heading to Imperial!

I'm here for the video but damn this face got me hooked

[johnwang]

Are you doing 4 A levels in one year?
A*A*A seems generous.
The uni I'm applying to requires me to get A*A*A*A* with UMS mark over 95%, and it must be done within one year! (Further Maths don't count as an A level for that university for some reason, but neither is Chinese Language)

Yeah, I'm applying for Medicine at CUHK.
I ended up doing 5 A levels in one year and it might be too much work!

As an international student, does adding in a 1570/1600 SAT help your application? I love your videos btw ( the application process is really daunting since really nobody applies from my school so this realllly helps).

I'm anxious about my GCSE grades because they were damaged a lot...

Can you do a video about extenuating circumstances and how to approach them? (i.e. Bullying, Young carer, etc).

[evezland]

he's got the beauty and brains, damn 😣

[wanna-ace-all-your-tests]

Hey! So amazing video but do you have any idea about what ib's are? ( for international students )

[darmalkro]

Ilya, are CGP books the best revision textbooks you could get? And also, did you go to any prestigious schools? And the last question, would I need textbooks or should I just find resources online? Thank you so much

[kaifa]

What about international students. What are the requirements?

[isa-snng]

If your igcses are “average” but your AS and ALevel are A*A*A* will that hinder your chances of getting in?

In 2019, were you there near the King's College as a guide to show around Cambridge University for a fundraising activity or something like that? I remember some Cambridge students were there to show around, and there was a guy who looked like you.. I'm still thinking f it was you or not

Does anybody know if the number of A level grades affects how competitive your application is? I am doing maths further maths computer science and physics at current and I want to apply to Trinity for Maths, but I need to work more hours to even afford to go to university and on top of preparing for STEP, I am worried my grades might be affected and I will not get the grades I need, so from a practical standpoint, I was wondering if it was worth it (If I drop one, it will be CS, as although I love it, it is my worst one) (I should note I am a state school student, I think the people in the year above with maths offers only do three, but I want to make sure my decision is not affected by survivorship bias)

why is it so hard to find material for oxford AS level. its so different from gcse where everything is available. i cant find any website that provides past papers or notes for oxford AS

[mrstarctech]

I am from india.
What is the fees structure if you got A*A A in Cambridge or oxford like average fees plz reply

[DivineSource]

What does AAA mean? Three subjects with a final grade of at least an A? So if I had an A* in History and a B in Politics, and a B in Classics, I can't apply to Oxford for History?

[nurallisyazaliayazid]

Does it matter which college we take our A levels in order to go to Cambridge or Oxford?

[reza_dav]

Do they actually accept Access to HE instead of A Levels?

[lifeunfiltered]

The requirments for Computer Science/ Economics is A*AA with an A* in Maths. So should A* in Maths be added in the A*AA or there needs to be A*A*AA?
