Also, why the hell does my desired course have only an average intake of 8 students, and a 9.5% success rate? Grr!
What course?
It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

History and English at Oxford.
http://www.ox.ac.uk/...d_englis_4.html
It'll be my first UCAS choice, followed by just History at Oxford. After that probably English and History at Sheffield.

Whoo! Sheffield! Seriously, Sheffield's great. And by the time you get there, they'll have finished rebuilding the student union and the Arts Tower. Best of luck getting into Oxford, though. It's hardcore learning times if you do.
Oh, a word of advice: Oxford and Cambridge will look at your grades and if they're straight A's they'll give you an interview, which will basically be the entire basis of their response to your application. Ace the interview and they'll bend over backwards for you. Everywhere else (for example, Sheffield) will want a badass personal statement. Mine got me accepted everywhere I applied with lower required grades than the standard. No exceptions.

I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Would the Sheffield option be a better second choice? Presumably both Oxford courses want the same grades?

The thing is History with English only has 8 places, whereas History by itself has 237. I'd prefer History with English but I'm not sure, with so few places, that I stand a chance.

It's still worth a try, of course. I don't know how it goes with uni's in England, but here I could apply at several universities at once.

Well if you get a conditional offer, you're in provided you get the grades. Btw, the order you apply for things on UCAS is irrelevant, preferences are only set when you choose your firm and backup choices (unless things have changed since 4 years ago).*whacks out Oxford prospectus*Would the Sheffield option be a better second choice?
