I would really like to go to Oxford or Cambridge. I am white male living in Southern California but I am particularly drawn to these schools because I am half english myself, my mom a native of Northern England. I am very attached to the country and it s culture. Given my stats, do I have a chance at acceptance?

SAT: 2100
SAT Subject: NOt yet taken, 4 planned
GPA : 3.5 unweighted
FULL AP/IB Course load: Full IB Diploma Candidate.
Basketball: 3 years at high school level 200+ hours
ASB: 2 years Leadership (elected as STUDENT BODY SECRETARY senior year) 300+ hours
AP TESTS: 1 taken thus far (score of 5)

I would really love to major in business at either of these schools. They are more appealing to me than most of the American Colleges. Would I be someone these schools are looking for given my stats, my heritage, and the fact im a international student?

PLEASE RESPOND with any advice?
