A very comprehensive post. The only thing to add is that unconditional offers to oxbridge must be very rare.
Universities only give unconditional offers when you are already overqualified for the course at step 1. Even mid-range unis will rarely give an unconditional offer to someone who is still taking their exams. I imagine oxford or cambridge doing so is pretty much unheard of.
