How difficult is it to be accepted into Cambridge University?
916072
Many consider Cambridge to be the best university in the world.  It is certainly ranked in the top five.  It is, therefore, difficult to get into.  \n\nIf you have not done well in school, your best chance is to get a graduate degree elsewhere, do very well and then apply to Cambridge.\n\nYou should be aware that in most disciplines, the top universities accept students for PhD programs, but not for Master's programs (other than terminal master's -- like an MBA).

In the UK, you have to apply thru UCAS and do the different exams that you need to in order to get into that particular university

I can only tell you about my past experience... which has led me to believe that there is no university one cannot get into.  The key is patience and not necessarily depending upon the standard system of entry.\n\nBy which I mean, go ahead and apply and see if you get in through the front door.  If you don't get accepted, then decide where you desire to attend and move there.  Take a part-time job and then take one or two courses under whatever policy allows this.  It might mean weekends or night classes.  All universities usually allow locals to take some classes.  Try to take them in your area of interest if possible.  \n\nThe key is to get great grades in these classes and to endear yourself to pertinent professors and department heads.  These are the people who will recognize your potential and go to bat for you.  Department heads are particularly useful as all they have to do is wave their magic pens, and you are in.\n\nIf for some reason you cannot get into the department of choice, find another department where you can smooze yourself into the door.  Once accepted into the university one is usually able to 'change one's mind' and change departments and degree programs.\n\nUsing this system my friends and I have been able to get into a number of colleges that wouldn't have us based on SAT's or some other criteria.    \n\nHope this helps.

You have a good chance of being accepted, but academic scholarships to such schools are ultra-competitive. There are probably plenty of people applying who have a 3.9 or 4.0

By entering the UCAS system, fill in the forms and submit your application. Bear in mind that you cannot apply to Oxford and Cambridge at the same time.\n\nwww.ox.ac.uk\n\nLook for the subject you wish to study, and you can also choose colleges of your choice, usually by looking at college size, location and facilities.\n\nAll students from UK are interviewed, overseas candidates might be interviewed by visiting staff or phone interviewed, depending on location and schedule. \n\nHope it helps!

depends on what country you want to go to..if you're loooking at UK then go on to www.ucas.com and under instituition guide go to each universities website and look for the entry requirement for international  students..usualy you can send them an email indicating your country of residence and they will email bk with details..you'll definitely need high marks and a interview will be required before you're offered a place..\nhope it helps!! :)

MIT is VERY TOUGH to get in. It also matters which course you are looking for. You got to be at the top of your class, have a good bank balance and be too smart for words. Do Not Get Fooled By People telling you the struggle isnt worth it. Believe me, it definitely is a struggle getting in, and might take an year's preparation to apply, but every second is worth it.

College admissions are by no means an exact science.  Your immigrant status may help you...  But NYU would be easier to get into.  Columbia, as an ivy league school, would be a struggle for anyone.\n\nThere are many people with 4.0 averages and SATs in the 1500s, or even perfect 1600s, who are rejected every year from ivy league schools.  There is no perfect formula.

All A* is a good start!  It's not a clearcut thing on grades alone, though - the interview process at Cambridge is very rigorous in a personal sense as well as an academic one, to the extent that people who are extremely bright but who the dons don't think are quite right may well not get in, despite sterling grades.\n\nIn as much as you can affect it, broadening your interests (music, sports - other hobbies save pure academia) as much as possible would help, but the best you can do is knuckle down and get the A-levels to match those GCSEs and make them take notice of you there and give you a chance to shine in the interview.  Good luck!

really not much.  Just prepare well for the SAT, and as long as your GPA is decent you will have plenty of colleges that will accept you.

First, fly to Logan Airport. Then you can take the blue line to the red (Alewife), and get off at Harvard Square...\n\nIf you want to get into Harvard, you'll need extremely good grades, very good SAT scores, extracurriculars with depth and breadth, good writing skills for the essays, and a little something extra. \n\nRemember, all students applying to Harvard have all of the above, so you need to be able to explain what is special about you - have you done something spectacular, or different? Are you extremely skilled at something? What sets you apart - and use the essays to talk to those things.

O levels don't exist it anymore. They are now GCSE's.  Cambridge is a university so i don't think they do them.  But cambridge is also the examining body.  I think you would have to go to college for GCSE's or a special course.

No, its a party school. You should be able to get in. However the UC system has lots of applicants.
