[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inspired by the Physics at Oxford thread, my DS is thinking about adding Oxford or Cambridge on his list.

He has 800 on SAT math, and will need 5 x AP tests (score of 5). Anything else he should know, or prepare for?

Which school is better for Pure Math? or applied math?[/quote] How has he done on the AMC? What independent studying has he done? Proof based math? Can he solve a problem like this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/533157665430568981/1048968261104058419/image.png?ex=68289c52&is=68274ad2&hm=ebcfba1fb79c10eb98bb2f636b3933c14cc26843d0d0a0b9f52a82bf2d503ad1& ?

Saying "I got an 800, how do I get into Cambridge" is sort of like saying "I made varsity, how do I get a full ride to a D1?"

Which grade is he in?[/quote]

Junior currently. finished calc bc in sophomore year, completed MultiCalc in college (grade: A). Has been taking a proof-based enrichment class over the last few years. does not like competition math so doesn't do them.[/quote]
