Realistically not - 8 is quite a low no. of gcses and they aren't all 'top grades' (although very good!)
GCSEs don't mean everything, it'll matter what you do in your alevels (or equivalent) and what you want to study. It isn't all about grades, lots of applicants have high grades so its up to what else you offer in terms of extracurriculars (volunteering, work experience, sports etc)
Don't get your hopes down but be realistic - you'll still do brilliantly even if you don't go to Oxbridge but if you work very hard you could still get it

thank you
