    Maybe they thought my application would be strong even without a high BMAT score, and so offered me an interview anyway...

    ...Crosses fingers so hard to they point that they snap.

    (Or of course, they just do it as routine and realise the BMAT isn't usually the make-or-break part of the application.)

    Yup, you're right.

    Cambridge interview nearly all their applicants (the only ones they don't interview are those that have absolutely no chance in the World of getting a place.)

    But hell, I'm not complaining! =P

    Good luck getting an interview at Oxford!

    yeah but just be careful of the unis which want As in english/maths/science.

    I would advise you to avoid cambridge/oxford since they really love GCSEs and the average student has about 6/7 A*s I believe, so you will be at a very bad disadvantage. However you may be able to turn it around with a very high BMAT, but that is very risky, so again, avoid oxbridge.

    GCSEs: 9 A*s, 3 As
