Are these GCSE results good enough for Oxford/Cambridge?

I have got these GCSE grades.

Maths - 9
Biology - 9
Chemistry - 9
Physics - 8
English Lang. - 9
English Lit. - 8
Computer Science - 9
D&T - 9
French - 8
RS - 9
History - 9

I have heard you need straight 9s so I'm worried my 8 9s and 3 8s isn't good enough. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Those are amazing grades and certainly surpass the general Oxbridge expectations :smile: There's no need to worry about those GCSEs

You heard wrong. Oxbridge regards both 8 and 9 as equally equivalent to A* so you can't do any better.

And GCSEs are just one aspect of a successful application anyway, and depending on the course, may not be that important.
