- Growing up, I had always thought that going to Cambridge or Oxford was only for the immensely wealthy or immensely intelligent- now I am an undergraduate there and am neither of those things. So many people get put off of applying because they think that Oxbridge is out of reach, but in this video I hope to destigmatize application and have compiled multiple sources to show that it's not as hard as you may have thought to get in, and ways you can boost your chances of a successful application.
Whether you are in Year 9 or 10 and just beginning your journey, or in Year 11 or college and starting to seriously consider further education, I hope this video makes you at least consider giving Oxbridge a go- I mean, what really is the worst that can happen?!
As promised, here are the resources discussed in the video and that you may find useful:

And than there are those like me, who believe they have a 105% chance of getting in, despite having no formal qualifications ( being in yr ten). I fully believe I can get in on delusion alone, and am proud to say I’m spreading the attitude to my friends as well
For real.🍵
Fake it til you make it my friend! I've managed to blag it so far (apparently)...
5:44 Applying for lesser known subjects with less applicants and less competition actually worked for me
Originally when I was in Year 12 I planned to study Natural Sciences in Cambridge but after realising the high number of applicants I switched to Earth Sciences in Oxford and got in
If you don’t mind me asking what did you get in your GCSEs I am scared my grades are not competitive enough ☹️
@@haw4ii96 i moved from hong kong to the uk in year 12 so i didn’t do gcses
@@haw4ii96 but i think your predicted a level grades and performance in admissions tests and interviews matter quite a lot too
so don’t worry

Being an international student Idek where to start from😭 and I wanted to study engineering

Hello pal. Yazmin is right, think about why they should invest in you, what is unique to you that no one else can offer. Website i've linked here might be of interest to you, it's got a load of tabs on the side that gives some good information and an email with people to give you specialist advice. Be sure to check it out! www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/international-students
It would seem some people may struggle to make their offer though 😔
