"GCSEs
GCSEs will be taken into account when we consider your application but they are just one aspect that we look at. GCSE results will be considered alongside your personal statement, academic reference, predicted grades and performance in any written work or written test required for your course. If you are shortlisted, your performance in interviews will also be taken into account. Higher grades at GCSE can help to make your application more competitive, and successful applicants typically have a high proportion of 7,8 and 9 grades. However, we do look at GCSE grades in context."
Cambridge
"There are no GCSE (or equivalent) requirements for entry to Cambridge. We will look at your GCSE results as an indicator of your academic performance. But this will be within the context of the performance of the school/college where you achieved your GCSEs."

Your GCSEs will be equally competitive for both, pretty much. Look at the course structure, the examination style (this especially!), the location, general vibes, etc for Oxford and Cambridge. Where do you want to study? Pick that one to apply to : )
