MAT and GCSEs (Oxford)

Hey Guys
I've been preparing for the MAT for a few weeks now, and came across the feedback from last year, in which I read this:

'As guidance, and on the basis of a validated weighted combination of the test score and proportion of A* at GCSE (where applicable), the Admissions Coordinator advises college tutors as to a calculated upper threshold score and a calculated lower threshold score. All candidates above the upper
threshold were recommended to be short-listed, and candidates below the lower threshold were recommended not to be short-listed, except in the case of exceptional circumstances. Around two thirds of the candidates between the two thresholds were short-listed for interview, resulting in around
3 applicants per place.'

My GCSEs are below average (but a 9 in maths could be good for me). Does this mean I don't have a chance or am I going to have to do REALLY well in the MAT?

Any and all help is appreciated :smile:
