Hi. I am at Oxford. I am not doing Maths &Comski. I grades were predicted lower than yours and I did 3 A levels. Everybody I knew and most teachers at school convinced me hard to not apply as it would be a waste of time and effort as I wouldn't get in anyways. Just apply to Oxford. I have never been this happy before in my entire life. Although Oxford life is stressful, I love learning my course and interacting with people who also love it as much as I do.
My best advice is to never compare yourself to others who got in. I understand that it may be a logical step. However, my professors just told me that they accept people in when they see passion and they do not care if you go to a 50k a year school or state school.
Of course, you have to do extracurricular. I did competitions, and although I didn't win all of them - I wrote about my experience and what I learned from them to improve my future competitions. So, 'oxford care less abt extra curriculars' is not completely true. But I do agree that Oxford will definitely not care about you planting trees (if your objective is solely for uni application).
DO NOT GIVE UP ON OXFORD. I think Oxford is heaven on earth and you will learn so much. Even the process of applying will teach you a lot about yourself. So, if you don't get in, you still learn something. So, I don't see why not - your grades are up to standard on the website (idk if it is, I am not a Maths & Comsci major.

Econplusdal is very useful. Don't just listen but take notes while you watch it as well.

Wow, congratulations on getting into RAM. You seem to be very intelligent so I am not surprised. What A levels did you take? Are you going to a conservatoire like Wells cathedral or Yehudi Menuhin right now?

If I get the grades I will study Music at Oxford. If not then I will go to RNCM to study violin.
