Does Cambridge care about extracurricular?
You’ll earn badges for being active around the site. Rep gems come when your posts are rated by other community members. Cambridge won’t care about your extracurriculars unless they’ve allowed you to improve skills relevant to your degree.
Does Cambridge look at extracurricular activities?
Yes. They only care about grades and academic potential.
Can you apply for Oxford and Cambridge?
Choose which course you would like to study. You can only apply to one course at Oxford, and you can’t apply to Oxford and Cambridge in the same year. Specific grades and subjects required are also shown on each course page. Decide whether to express a preference for a particular college or make an open application.
Does Cambridge look at extracurriculars?
It is mostly true. We do care about extracurricular activities related to the course you are applying to. But usually they do not carry too much weight. If it is unrelated, then we mostly do not care, unless you achieved a very high level.
What is the difference between Oxford and Cambridge University applications?
Cambridge will also ask all of their applicants to complete an online Supplementary Application Questionnaire (SAQ), which they say they require in order to ensure that they have consistent information about all of their applicants. In contrast, Oxford does not actually require potential students to complete any extra forms.
Do you work with schools to support their Oxbridge applicants?
We work with many schools ourselves to support their Oxbridge applicants and many schools organise practise tests and interviews independently. Each school has a different history and approach with applications to Oxford and Cambridge. Can you help me if I am not applying to Oxbridge?
What advice do we give to Oxford and Cambridge students?
This means that we give impartial advice about both universities and that we do not give names or details of any of the students we support to Oxford or Cambridge. Every piece of guidance and advice we give is tailored to the individual and therefore no student is supported in the same way.
Can Oxford and Cambridge see each other on UCAS?
UCAS does not allow the universities you have selected to see each other until you have accepted your first and second choice offers. However, because the deadline for Oxford and Cambridge is earlier than for UCAS, universities can make a supposition that you have applied to Oxbridge.
