5 in ib math hl and oxford

hi I have a ib predicted score of 42/45 with a 775 (5 in higher level math aa). is there any point in me applying ppe to Oxford? I'm confident in getting a high tsa score and have great supercurriculars (research w/ prof (published paper), internship at startup, multiple essay awards)

What are the HL and subject grade requirements for the course? I don't know about IB but for A levels as a non-contextual applicant you need to have predicted grades that match or exceed the offer to be considered and overall scores aren't considered, at least for the courses I know about. For example, the minimum offer for Biochemistry is A*AA at A level and A*A*B doesn't meet that offer despite being worth the same number of UCAS points. They might be less bothered about grades if you do well on the TSA idk anything about PPE specifically.
