You should apply and hope for the best. If you meet certain contextual flags like social mobility, you could be competitive.

oxf is more gcse heavy than cambs but you should just apply to the one you like the course at more - you still have 4 other choices and the only way to guarantee you don't get in is by not applying

Ok. I suggest that you apply to Cambridge. If you have any other flags like being poor or first in family to go to uni then call them out.

If you choose to apply to Cambridge, choose Homerton. Good luck.

Choose Cambridge (Homerton College).
