Hey guys,
I am posting after a really long time and I just have a couple of questions about undergraduate admissions at Oxford University. I am interested in their History major and I am currently a junior at a Texas public high school. I know that Oxford does not consider GPA and class rank, instead, they would like to see the SATs and SAT subject tests/AP tests. I was wondering what subject tests should I take? I know that I will have to take History. I am also planning to take literature which is my strong point. Also, do you think I should visit Cambridge for the interview? or take it in the US? I am so nervous for the application process, specially for Oxford since I haven’t visited the campus yet and just recently decided to pursue a career in History. Also, I am terrible at Math, I hope they don’t take my math scores too seriously? I am just not a math person, Specifically Algebra.
Thanks for your help!

P.S: I didn’t find an Oxford University forum here!
