<p>First things first: would you be over 21 when you start (I assume you are applying for entry in 2015, as applications for entry in 2014 are closed)? because if so you can apply as a “mature student” which will make the whole process a bit easier. Also, there are colleges within the unis that are for ‘mature’ students, which you might prefer to being in with the mad 18 year olds who would be your fellow first years.</p>
<p>Then read the CS pages (exhaustively) on the Oxford website- it is pretty good, and there are few things more annoying than people asking questions that are easily answered online.</p>
<p>–> Note that they are looking for strong maths above all else, followed by sciences (physics esp, b/c it’s mathy also). They don’t give a toss about english (except that you read and speak it). They won’t be interested in a social sciences AP either.</p>
<p>–> also, look at the courses for first year students, and compare them to what you are taking / planning to take.</p>
<p>Third, contact the Computer Science department at Oxford by email (based on their postings on the student room website, they are really genuinely helpful and encouraging). Tell them that you are applying as a mature student, that you have no standardized test scores from secondary school, but are currently enrolled in a regional college, studying math, physics and computer sciences, and ask what (if any) testing they would require and any other advice they might have.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
