Should i apply to Oxford?

For A-levels, I do Biology, Chemistry and Maths My Target Grades are A*AA and I wish to do Medicine at Oxford.
My A-level Predictions are good enough to apply but I know Oxford look closely at your Gcse's and I think mine arent good enough for Oxford but I honestly have no idea so I would Love your Opinions.

I got 8,8,8,7,7,7,6,6,6,6,5,3

oxford medicine consider 8/9 equally as of 2023 (may change before 2027, i think you'll be applying for that year?), you technically have a full score in their eyes, congrats on your amazing grades!!! also don't stress too much now and focus on nailing your a level predicted grades, wider reading and ucat
