I'm from a tier 1 nlu, I've got good extra curriculars, stellar recommendations, and will be working in a sector that's fairly interesting and not very main stream. Oxbridge was never in the consideration (I know my place before any of you try to remind me of it) until one of my professors recommended that I try, and now I cannot get it out of my head.
And a few people from my college have gotten into great unis which largely focus on good grades, without really having great grades, and that's given me a new found motivation
Best of luck!
