College application?

qwerty4

I am considering applying to Oxford for college. I understand that Irish universities provide minimum amounts of points for courses.. But does anyone know what the minimum to apply for say Economics and Management at Oxford would be? I know that for students in the UK studying A-Levels the minimum requirement is 3 A's at A level with certain specifications for certain courses... Would this translate to LC i.e. 6 A's (honours obviously) i.e. 600 points? Or is there a certain amount of leeway? Any help or insight appreciated

There is a huge amount of leeway in UCAS. Your personal statement + interviews will play just as much a role in your application as your leaving certificate points. For most of the courses in Cambridge/Oxford, they expect you to have delved into study beyond the scope of the leaving cert/A level courses. Show you are truly interested in the course by citing any voluntary work you may have done in the area.

Also, they will check your junior cert grades and predicted grades before inviting you to interview so, it would be helpful to your application if you have a strong J.C and decent predicted grades.

The interviews can be quite grueling but with some preparation you can stand to do very well!

Good luck!

However that's excellent advice NeuroCat and I'm sure it will be more than helpful to other potential applicants.
