MSc Advanced Computing at Oxford

I always regret not ever applying to Oxford during my A-Levels, and I feel like this would be the perfect opportunity

About me:
- 3 A* in CS, Maths and Econ
- Currently at KCL studying CS and on track for a 1st
- Interested in low level SWE for quant systems, ML and general SWE

Wouldn't say I love mathematics as much as others however I do enjoy it at times but prefer more pure CS concepts as such etc.

My question is am I being oblivious with this "Masters at Oxford" dream right now? /is it unrealistic? I only heard recently that references from mathematics professors and serious research experience is required to even be considered for the programme. I didn't take that many maths modules for next year, and not really close with any professor except for my AI one. And regarding research I was planning on becoming a researcher over summer but I chose the internship route instead. Let alone all of this I haven't heard much on the actual application process in terms of if there are any assessments and their difficulty etc.

I guess my imposter syndrome is kicking in right now but I'd appreciate if anyone on the scheme could give some advice

If you look at the units that this MSc offers, do they interest you? What do you mean when you say you enjoy pure CS concepts, is it stuff like programming? I think the course+staff are very theoretical based and if you aren't so much into maths you might not get a lot out of it in my opinion, but it depends on your taste.
