I'm American working as an aerospace engineer in the UK.
I want to know if I have any serious shot at being accepted to these schools: Oxford and Cambridge. Honestly, I have no idea what is considered a competitive portfolio in the UK.

Race/gender:
White male.
Citizenship:
US

Don't remember but it was kinda bad (70-ish percentile for math). I doubt they consider GRE anyway.
LORs
Should be able to get some great ones from top profs once I reconnect with them
I don't like wasting time, so I don't want to apply for these schools if I stand no chance. I know at the undergrad level these schools are irresponsibly competitive (resulting in an ugly rat race), and I wonder if that philosophy applies at the graduate level.
