would these gcse grades be good enough for Oxbridge?

I am in the midst of preparing for my gcses this year. Say i gain these grades:
maths 8 or 9(both mean a*)
english 7(A)
sciences 3 A*
history A*
R.E A*
german A or A*
computing A
ECDL A*
Would they be good enough for GCSEs?
GCSEs won't matter a huge deal. If you get anything like those grades you'll be fine but will need to back it up at A-levels where it matters.

Everyone knows you need at least 47 A*s to get an interview.

That should be alright. Just make sure you do your best, especially in maths, English and science!

So youre predicting 9 A* and 2 A?

The grades are fine and won't hold you back. However, your lack of understanding about what is and isn't acceptable to unis is going to hold you back far more.
