applying for biochemistry

im hoping to apply for oxford but what stats (predicted grades and gcses) do i need to have a high chance of getting in? (i got a B in my epq so im worried that will reduce my chances)

im also looking to apply for warwick but this is what they mention in their entry requirements:
AAB to include Biology and Chemistry OR AAA to include Chemistry and either Mathematics, Physics or Statistics, plus one of the following: GCSE Biology grade B/6; GCSE Double Science grades BB/66; AS level Biology grade B; grade A in a Biology-related EPQ.
since i got a b in my epq, should i choose another uni?

Oxford - read Undergraduate admissions | Biochemistry - A*AA, including chemistry and another science or maths, and with the A* in maths, physics, chemistry, or biology (or a very closely related subject).

Warwick - you don't need to have an A grade EPQ to apply. This is just their 'alternative offer' for those with an expectation of an A grade EPQ and who are not taking both Biology and Chemistry. Clearly Warwick prefers applicants taking both Biology and Chemistry.
