Studying human sciences at oxford with a 6 in GCSE maths?

I’m interested in taking human sciences in oxford. I’m predicted As and above for Gcses, apart from a 6 in maths. I want to take english, history and either biology, sociology, economics, or psychology for a levels. Apparently maths would be useful for the human sciences course (and there’s no way I’m taking it in A level.) Do you think I’d get a shot? And i am interested in human sciences.

Hi, so on Oxford’s website maths is actually listed as a required subject at A Level for human sciences. So maybe human sciences is not for you if you do not want to take maths at A Level

no green dot means that biology and math will at a-level will be helpful for the course but they're not required for the admission

Maths isn’t necessary to study HumSci at Oxford because I got in without taking Maths at A level. While it could be helpful, it would be much better for you to take an A level where you know you’ll get a good grade because then you would have a better chance at getting into Oxford.
