Her speeches show how bright, articulate and unfazed by pressure she is; and her GCSE results are what you'd expect of someone looking to enter Oxford or Cambridge, without her other achievements (and she said "Oxford, maybe Stanford" a few days ago talking to the Telluride Film Festival).

The only disappointing thing is she's considering studying politics and economics, when she has the grades in sciences to study them. An Oxford degree in PPE is what David Cameron got.
