OMG THAT'S AMAZING!!! all the best for your interview & hope to see you at cambridge!

[@mafam22]

Lovely video! Congrats... Cambridge, wow! May I ask something... We are from Singapore but now living in Canada. My daughter is in grade 10 and she really wants to go to Cambridge to study Classics. I know Cambridge is crazy expensive for international students; I've check the fees 😅. Did you have to show them when you applied that you're able to cover all expenses (tuition fees, colleges fees, and living expenses) for the whole 3 years? Thanks!

[@lixuansdiaries]

thank you!! it's true that cambridge is crazy expensive for international students... unfortunately you would have to show them that you're able to cover all expenses before you study there, but there are some grants like the cambridge trust which you can apply for! they are generally quite understanding should you need more time to provide your evidence documents. all the best to your daughter!!!

[@mafam22]

@lixuansdiaries thank you! So, international students have to show evidence that they can pay for the whole 3 years, otherwise their applications would be rejected? And how does that work with the scholarships, since I think you need to have an offer from Cambridge to apply for a scholarship? Thank you for your reply!

[@lixuansdiaries]

​@@mafam22you'll only have to provide evidence documents after you've accepted the offer! you won't be asked about your financial status during the application. as for scholarships, there's no clash there because cambridge application outcomes are released at the start of the year (mine was on 24 jan). i could use my offer later on to apply for scholarships in feb and march :)

[@mafam22]

@@lixuansdiaries Great! Good to know. Thanks for your reply and good luck with your studies!

Hey! Can I contact you for some tips? I've applied to Cambridge as well this year, haven't got a decision yet

[@Mira_Okt]

I hope you won’t mind, but I will pray for you that you will get in🤍

[@lixuansdiaries]

hey! i'm not sure if i'm able to help much because quite frankly, the only insight i have into the cambridge admissions process is from my own experience. however, if you have any burning questions, feel free to contact me :)
