The offer you might get would depend on whether you're doing further maths, so make sure your predicted grades match up to what's on http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/courses/offer

For your personal statement, make sure you emphasize how much you like maths, stats and all the other areas covered (particularly maths). Reading maths-related books would help (you can find lists of suitable books elsewhere) as well as other extra-curricular activities relating to the areas covered by the course.

It's hard for me to say if it's less superior to a maths degree since I do maths at Warwick there myself so I would be biased. What I would say is that I've heard from many MORSE students that the maths modules can be much harder than the other modules - take from that what you will. But then I have also heard of maths students finding stats modules hard. Maths has a higher offer although they give it out to pretty much anyone who has sufficient predicted grades. For MORSE it's harder to get an offer.
