Chance me for Oxford Economics and Management!

<p>Hey guys, this is my first post here, would really appreciate any feedback. </p>

<p>AP's w/test scores:
AP Calculus BC 5
AP Macroeconomics (projected) 5
AP Microeconomics (projected) 5
AP Chemistry 5
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism 4
AP Physics C: Mechanics 5
AP Computer Science (projected) 5</p>

<p>SAT I: 2260</p>

<p>SAT II Math: 800
SAT II Chemistry: 790
SAT II Physics: 750</p>

<p>And I think that is all of the relevant information I have. I mean, I still have the interview and Thinking Skills Assessment in September, and God knows if they're going to like my personal statement too. I don't mean to sound like a jerk or particularly knit picky or anything, but since Oxford is already competitive as it is, plus Economics and Management is one of their most selective courses, do I really stand a chance? I'm kind of worried about that 4 I got on the AP Physics: Electricity and Magnetism exam, since Oxford really cares about stats.</p>

<p>Anyways, thanks for reading!</p>

<p>Oxford cares about stats, and you have great ones- but it will be interesting how you cast your very science-y focus towards E&M in the PS. </p>

<p>Typically they care about your marks in relevant subjects (they aren’t particularly keen on the Econ APs, btw, and the two together count as one AP). You have absolutely no written subjects (not counting the SAT, which doesn’t really count). Could you take some English or History SATIIs? It would be helpful to demonstrate that you can read, analyze and write, as that is what a lot of the course will involve.</p>
