Oxford Undergraduate Degrees

 What would you do?
    I'd do either: History, History and Politics, History and English, Philosophy and Modern Languages or Philosophy, Politics and Economics (what all the politicians do).

   I suggested on another thread /0 (and other Arts and Science types) might like Mathematics and Philosophy, or Physics and Philosophy, which both include a 'bridging subject' serving to relate the two disciplines.

I'd probably do Physics and Philosophy, Physics, Chemistry or alternatively, English Language and Literature.

I'd study Natural Sciences, English or Linguistics at Cambridge though.

I feel like Homer when he drools.

I would take either Classics or (the best sounding course ever) Classical Archaeology and Ancient History.
Oh man. It looks so good.

it's 98.50~99.50min (as stated on website)
but also based on your BMAT score to be shortlisted for interview.
It is extremely competitive especially for international students.
if only...

Following in Pa's footsteps? ;) (He did Classics there after his Bachelor in Aucklund, I think.)
P.S. How did you go in your exams?

And University of Chicago is even better ;) Well, for graduate maths, at least.

I would do this:

Though admittedly it's at Cambridge, not Oxford (obviously since Cambridge >>> Oxford for Natural Sciences).
