Can I potentially go to Oxford with these GCSE grades?

Hello! I'm in the unlucky cohort of 2020 for GCSEs, therefore I'll hopefully achieve these grades come autumn (I'll be retaking some! - fingers crossed)
English Lit and Lang - 8
Maths - 9
RS - 9
Chemistry - 7
Biology - 7
Physics - 9
German - 8
PE - 9

The current dream is to apply for PPE at Oxford, and I know they apply great emphasis on GCSEs unlike Cambridge, but the latter's alternative is HSPS which I'm not super interested in :frown:. I just wanted to know if I have a chance if I really suit up for A-Levels (I am hoping for A*AA provided I work hard) and achieve a decent TSA grade.

Many thanks!
Yes, if you carry those kind of grades through to A-Levels then you will get the grades needed, but obviously you don't get guaranteed spots even if you got a 9 in all A-Levels, not everyone gets picked. Also, my ultimate dream is to do PPE at Oxford as well. Hope this helps.
