Oxford or Cambridge for Medicine?

Hi! I am just wondering which Uni - oxford or cambridge would be better for Medicine.
I'm an Asian and someone once told me that the possibility of getting into Cambridge for Asians is lower?
I know Oxford bases its shortlisting applicants on their GCSE grades,
I got like 8 A*s and 2 As in IGCSEs, are these good enough?

Thanks!

I think I speak for everyone when I say

'**** off'

Oxford are know to take more of a 'chance' with people who may not have as good grades but really prove themselves at interview / Oxford's own admission exams, whereas Cambridge place more weight on GCSEs and crucially ask for AS %s to discriminate on. If Asians can't get good grades at school maybe that accounts for it, or maybe (probably) the person who told you that is just an idiot.

I may be completely wrong, but I was under the impression that Oxbridge wasn't necessarily the best for Medicine anyway?

For medicine - Oxford combine a % of A* at interview along with the BMAT to draw up an interview shortlist. You need a very high % GCSE A* to stand a realistic chance (the stats are all on a website along with graphs and so on). Oxford interview much less than Cambridge - who typically interview around 90% (Oxford not more than 40%) and some colleges give candidates a chance even before the BMAT results (which Oxford don't).

Yep, I'm aware of that buddy but thanks for adding it to the thread. I was countering the general assertion that 'the possibility of getting into Cambridge for Asians is lower'.
