I have 8 level 9s, 1 level 7 and 1 level 5 in my GCSEs, and I am predicted 4 A*s in my A-levels (I'm in Year 12). Do I have a chance at Oxbridge given the fact that I have some low grades at GCSE?

I would say yes, depending on what subject your grade 5 is in. Your GCSE’s are still very high overall and A-Level grades will be more crucial. As long as you get lots of extracurricular experience to really prove your passion and commitment to the chosen subject, you have a very good chance.

They don't negatively score, ie take 'marks' off for low grades. If you are predicted 4A* then you are competitive.
