<p>UKRUS: The GC is an advisor, so yes, she works for the school (which is what I think you're getting at). When you say "grades" you mean "standardized test scores," right? There is no oversight in that part. I wrote the test scores in myself, and no administrator verified them. I am not criticizing Oxford admissions, which is what I think you think I am doing, for I doubt many post illegit test scores. I am just noting how highly they regard test scores. One sees many posts on this board of people with average GPAs and excellent test scores; perhaps they should apply to Oxbridge.</p>
