oxford application form, question
#1
hi there

there is a section on the second page of the oxford application form which says "School or college type attended by candidate..." and then some boxes to tick. looks pretty straight forward, but I'm an international student (EU citizen) and don't really know which boxes to tick.

there are two lines, one is "Years 9-11" and the other one is "Years 12-13".

anyone can help me with that ? does years 9-11 mean "where have I done my GCSE levels" and 12-13 where I did my A levels ?!?

(BTW: I know my ref has to fill in this part, but he doesn't know either)

thanks for any help.

nobody ? thought this must be a pretty straight forward question for someone living in the UK.

please help, this is the last section on my form which isn't filled in and I need to get it done.

Hi there - sorry for the late reply.

You're right - In England (school) years 9-11 are when you do your GCSE's and years 12-13 (often known as sixth form) are when you do your A-levels.

I'm guessing if you're an international student you probably didn't do A-level and GCSE's - I think Oxford publish some advice for international students on applying and it might tell you what to do about this section.

I tried to find something but couldn't. the form is for everybody from UK/Europe but there is no advice what someone not from the UK. The school type I attended doesn't fit in any of the categories available, but there is one box saying "Overseas", that's maybe the best choice for me ? or is overseas again some special kind of school ?
