[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cambridge is crazy competitive to get into, if your kid is not getting into HPYS he or she is not getting into Cambridge.[/quote]

LOL. I know right? OP is in lalaland. [/quote]

Not OP.

But Cambridge doesn't take extracurriculars into consideration. Things like SAT 2s and AP exam grades count for admissions for US students, unlike most elite US schools.

So a very high stat student who doesn't have that extra whatever that HYPS wants, could get into Cambridge, or Oxford, somewhat more easily.[/quote]

Yes they do. I applied very far back but I had to have interviews when I applied to both Oxford and Cambridge. I went to an elite school where most students got straight As and they took one student from my school. I also recall essays. [/quote]

Nope

No essays ,SATII ,community service nor any holistic stuff
Just academics transcripts

3. Apply
UCAS application

Submit your UCAS application by 15 October – our institution code is CAM C05.

Supplementary Application Questionnaire (SAQ)

Shortly after submitting the UCAS application, you will be requested (via email) to complete the Supplementary Application Questionnaire (SAQ) – a few extra questions requesting information not included in your UCAS application which we find helpful. To make a valid application to the University of Cambridge, you must submit your SAQ by the deadline set. In the majority of cases this deadline will be 6.00pm (UK time) on 22 October 2017.

Cambridge Online Preliminary Application (COPA)

If living/attending school/college outside the EU and/or applying for an Organ Scholarship applicants need to submit the Cambridge Online Preliminary Application (COPA).

There is an additional application form if you're applying for the Graduate Course in Medicine.

Transcripts

You may be required to submit an academic transcript.

Other application deadlines apply for those wishing to be interviewed in overseas countries, and for some mature applicants.

4. Written assessment
Most applicants are required to take a written admission assessment, either pre-interview or at interview (if interviewed).

5. Interview
Everyone with a realistic chance of being offered a place is invited to attend an interview. That’s around 75 per cent of applicants each year.

6. Decision
We’ll advise you of our decision before the end of January.[/quote]
