Are these grades good enough for Oxford Theology?

Hi! I recently got my predicted grades back from school. I do the IB curriculum in the UK, and I was just wondering if these grades are are good enough for studying Theology at Oxford? I haven't quite decided on a college yet, Worcester is my favourite but it is also like the most oversubscribed so I probably won't apply there. Overall I got a 40/45, with the breakdown as follows:

English HL - 6
Global Politics HL - 7
Chemistry HL - 6
Maths AA SL - 5
Chinese AB-initio - 7
Business SL - 6
TOK - A
EE - A

Just wondering if it is at all plausible to apply, thanks!

The standard offer for IB students is 38 with 666 in higher level, which you exceed. So I expected you have as good a chance as any.

It's also worth noting theology interviewed on average over 2/3rds of applicants over the last three years (about 1/3rd total were successful) so I think there's a very good chance you'd be interviewed and as above, you'd have as good a chance as any post interview (really dependent on the interview performance itself.
