Universities like oxbridge have said that GCSEs are just one of many aspects they look at; others include predicted A-levels, personal statements, academic references etc. Having said that, it would be advisable to get a decent grade in the required GCSEs, maths and english, if you have those in the bag you should be fine if you focus on other things. hope this helps

Varies depending on whether it's Oxford or Cambridge and on which course at which of the two it is as well.
There's no general answer. Some courses are more GCSE focused than others. Generally Oxford is more GCSE focused than Cambridge but this does vary between courses.
