Oxbridge GCSE’s?

Is it true you need all A*s at gcse to have a better chance of getting into oxbridge? I’m predicted 7’s, 8’s and 9’s, but I’m worried about what if I don’t achieve those grades
Depends what you want to study.

Oxford look more at your gcse grades than Cambridge.

Many successful candidates who apply to Oxford will have top grades. For example, the average law candidate who applies has 5.2 a stars at gcse. However Oxford offer holders have an average of 8 or 9 a stars.
My elder son got in for German with only 3 a stars, at gcse, by the way.
