<p>Yes it will, but remember, you NEED at least two safeties. These are schools that you know you can get into, and afford. If your father is willing to pay full fare at Oxford, that negates the whole finance issue. </p>
<p>To find out your safeties, find a school THAT YOU LIKE where your gpa and sats put you at the top of the applicant pool. If you like Oxford, perhaps you’d like a larger LAC. </p>
<p>Apply to Oxford, see what happens, but also prepare you apps for a few other schools.</p>
