Is Oxbridge realistic?
I have A*A*AAAAAB at GCSE and A*AAA and AS and am predicted A*A*A.
My GCSE's are good but not really Oxbridge standard. But overall, would you say I had a shot?

Yes you should definitely apply! It isn't as competitive as medicine where they need like 10 A*s at GCSE. Definitely apply! Good luck
Your GCSEs and AS grade predictions are perfectly good. Cambridge do not put much emphasis on GCSEs, though I have my A2s already so I imagine there will be more focus on them for you and for me when I apply.

AFAIK only Cambridge do HSPS...furthermore, Cambridge don't really look at GCSEs, so you have a very very good chance
As noted, HSPS is a Cambridge couse, and outside of Medicine (and Maths, at some colleges, I believe) Cambridge don't put much, if any weight on GCSEs. Your performance in 6th form is on target to meet their minimum requirements, so there is a good chance you'll be offered an interview - beyond that, it's anyone's guess

Thank you, I hope I'm given an interview.
