Ive just gotten back from spending 3 days in Cambridge for the university open days. It was amazing, some of the colleges are absolutely stunning, the facilities are fantastic and i desperately want to go. Now i just have to get in... Anyone applied/applying and have any tips?

I'm in love with Cambridge University. It's my dream school  & hopefully by the time I finish high school I will be accepted (crosses fingers) Has anyone been to or have been attending the university? If so - can you brief me about some common facts about Cambridge and the admission process for international students? -Feel free to message me; I need to attain as much information as I can in a span of two years if I plan on attending Cambridge!

What do you want to study there?
   

   Economics at either Magdalene, Downing or Clare


 

  Oh cool. Are you planning on doing Further Maths to A2?


 

 No unfortunately, i didnt know i would be doing economics when the opportunity arose, but it isnt essential and im hopefully going to get 90-95% in maths AS then an A at A2, which might just be enough .


Oh yeah that'll be fine. I don't know if this is true for Economics, but for some math-heavy degrees people are sometimes asked why they didn't study FM at the interview, so you might wanna have a good answer prepared for that.  

What are your other subjects?


Economics and Psychology which im expecting high A's in, and chemistry which should hopefully be an A but im dropping next year.

I applied to Pembroke college and got an Interview but I got rejected. It's an amazing place and I would have loved to go there.
