      Hi Paulina,

      The admissions process for Cambridge university is quite competitive, but I think the most important thing to remember is that it is accessible to everyone, and the university is putting a lot of effort into making the process even more accessible. A lot of people might feel that they need to do extra A levels or lots of work experience to have a chance of getting in but this isn’t the case.

      All courses at Cambridge require an interview too, which can be quite daunting (and definitely was for me), but I think that the most important thing to remember for these interviews is that they are not trying to catch you out. The interviewer just want you to give each question a go, even if you don’t know the answer!

      Let me know if you have any more questions about applying! 🙂

    Thank you for answering! I have another question about applying to Cambridge University. If you’re not from England, and you have never studied there, is there still a possibility to get in?

      You’re welcome! Yes you definitely can, there are a lot of students from other parts of the UK and from all over the world! There is also a lot of scholarships available for international students which can be found on the Cambridge website.
