Hello Everyone,
I’m currently a junior in high school in the US. I’m applying to Oxford University this coming fall and I was wondering if anyone could answer my questions. If you have received an offer from Oxford (conditional or otherwise) could you please specify?

I did well on my ACT (above the required 32).
I was wondering if Oxford looks at SAT Subject Tests more favorably than APs or vice versa? Would it be acceptable for me to apply with three Subject Tests (History, History, and Lit) as I’m applying for a humanities (most probably English) course of study and no APs? Would it be within reason to hope for an interview? I only ask because though I’m registered for APs I don’t know if I’ll get a 5 for sure.

Could I could get an offer with my Subject Tests + ACT that was conditional on me taking the APs next spring?
Thanks,
Alice
