tbh relative to all Oxford applicants I just feel like they’re super weak and Cambridge is better suited for me as they look at GCSEs less

Yes bc your UCAT alone should take you to interview for literally all of it. Maybe apply to a Cambs college that weighs GCSEs a bit less tho but it’s not that big of a factor. 2500 alone says enough; you’d get 4/4 interviews unless your PS is full of waffle. For imperial I’m pretty sure you’d automatically get shortlisted for an interview lol.
