Oxford med

I’m thinking of applying to Oxford for medicine and Ik that it’s very GCSE heavy

GCSEs
9,9,9,9,9,9,8,8,7,7 ( I got 9s in all sciences)
Are these grades competitive enough and what UCAT score should I be looking at getting

you should be fine, i remember doing research on this and i saw that oxford posted the average GCSE scores of their applicants and offer holders.
It said that on avg applicants have 6.5 grade 9s, 2.5 grade 8s, and 1.05 grade 7s, while offer holders had 8.5 grade 9s and 2 grade 8s on average (this is across all applicants in 2024/2025)
im also planning to apply to oxford med in 2027 (hopefully)
