You’ll have to pick Oxford OR Cambridge. Your stats would likely make the basic cut but it’s just the first step and no one can predict beyond that.
Lose econ/gov is a match.
You should add UEdinburgh and St Andrews for Econ/gov to round out your ucas applications

You could also consider PPE at KCL (you’d probably get an immediate unconditional offer if you get 5s in APs this year) or UCL (a bit less predictable) if you prefer 3 year courses to the 4 years in Scotland.

Generally Oxford is more interested in/accommodating of Americans than Cambridge, but PPE is a tough admit.
