    The last point is really important... I want to apply for maths at Cambridge, but if the desire is too overwhelmed it really make me sucked. Realizing to be a real person is way more important than anything else! Also thanks for telling that interview is not that intimidating, this really make me relax a lot.

      I got accepted for Maths too last month, and rest assured that if you convince your interviewers of your desire to learn and ability to grow then you will at least be in strong consideration for the acceptance. Perhaps that's all I'm qualified to say since I myself don't know much yet, lol

      ​@@beyza2004 Yeah sure so, other than the pedantic details about Cambridge Interviews that you'll find in any YT video of this kind (some are on the official Cambridge Channel itself), I'll provide some info on the interviews.
      Firstly, all colleges have similar but ever so slightly differing processes for interviewing. My college, Christ's, first had a one hour written test followed by a discussion interview, and then a general interview by different interviewers.
      The test and the first interview were based solely on pure abstract mathematical topics and algorithmic/analytical thinking, often called "non-routine maths" that is tested in mathematical olympiads and the IMO. I spent the past few years preparing for the IMO so I personally didn't find the test and the interview difficult altho I couldn't do all questions in given time.
      The second interview is somewhat general, and based on your A-Level Maths as well as Mechanics. As long as you're conceptually clear and can think spontaneously about what you've learnt in school, you'll ace it without much hindrance.
      Personally, I liked the experience and given that it was online, I was kinda anxious beforehand and I can see you must be feeling the same, but just keep calm and complete all the tasks they assign (documents sending, application filing etc.) on time. Give it your best, and the rest will fall in place, good luck!

    Hi, thanks for another brilliant video. I’d like to know about college campus life such as if you have a curfew, you have to participate in the rowing activities(sports) and dining meetings.
    Plus, about mature students with your observations (even if I understand that you are not a mature student :) )

    Hello Sienna. I'm Akshat from India. I am a college graduate and pursuing Chartered Accountancy as a professional course from a statutory body named Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. For a long time I have felt that maths is my passion and I can do very well at it. Still i am a commerce student and i did not do maths in 10+2 class but now i want to do BA in maths at cambridge university. Am I eligible to do the course?
    If I am not eligible for this then let me know how can I pursue BA Mathematics at Cambridge University in any other way.

      SAT scores aren't remotely relevant are you'd be fine if you apply without them. I did and got in, coz prolly there's other facts like Personal Statement, LoR and Interviews that carry more weight.
      That said, if you have a 1520+ SAT score then definitely mention it, it's only going to solidify your application.
