Should I apply for Oxford Economics & Management if i achieve 4 A*s at A-Level?

I am currently sitting my A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics. I was predicted 4 A*s this year but got rejected from Cambridge and LSE for pure econ. Wasn’t fully surprised as I didn’t do amazing in my interview, and entrance test, but as A levels have been going really well so far, I’m just curious as to what my chances would look like if I reapplied but to oxford E&M (which appeals to me slightly more as I didn’t enjoy the TMUA and i prefer the course as it is slightly less mathematical) with 4A*s achieved. The course has a 5% acceptance rate which is quite off-putting but I feel like I could do a better application and interview the next time round, especially with achieved grades (if i get them). What do you guys think?

anecdotally i think the low acceptance rate is more reflective of the number and quality of candidates than it being super competitive
apply if you WANT to do the course
