MY CAMBRIDGE INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE | STORYTIME & ADVICE

[@PaigeY]

Hey guys, thought I'd share the story of my admissions interviews for Cambridge uni! Good luck to everyone who has an interview coming up (whether it's for Oxbridge, another uni, or even for a job!). I know they can be nerve-wracking but try to stay calm, have confidence in yourself and showcase what you can do! Getting an interview is an achievement in itself so be proud of yourself and enjoy the opportunity to discuss and explore the subject you're interested in with a top academic. P.S. be sure to let me know how you get on :)

[@bookraccoon]

PaigeY Mhm... I just can’t wait to have to interview for Uni someday! Luckily, that’s in 2023 so I’m good! (Yes, I calculated when I’m going to have academic events, don’t judge me. Hopefully the fact that 21 is my lucky number and I’m doing my GCSEs in 2021 helps lol 😂)

[@thandanaing297]

How did you manage/control your mindset as you waited for the offer?

[@PaigeY]

Melon Thanda I’m probs not the best person to ask since I’m always that person who is stressing over exams/results 😂 but as hard as it is, I just tried to push it to the back of my mind and enjoy my Christmas holiday - there’s nothing more you can do now so no point overthinking it! I’d advise just keeping yourself busy 😊

[@ghostnorth5908]

Agreed!

[@rsidharth1903]

facts

[@tabithaweasley1942]

I applied to Cambridge last October and had my interview last December (bio natsci at Homerton). I completely bottled a probability question on my biology interview. Very embarrassing as I do further maths so I should be able to do maths problems... my interviewer told me my method was correct but I’d made some mistakes. I was convinced that I hadn’t been memorable or outstanding enough on either interview, but I was offered a place! It really is impossible to judge how well you’ve done on those interviews.

[@rsidharth1903]

thats awesome man!

[@m_here1]

Wow, this is intense. I'm an American student, and the admissions process for university is way less stressful than this. I remember freaking out a lot during that time, and it was so easy in hindsight (especially compared to this). Props to you!

[@alicezozo1]

Thank you for this, Paige! You're a very good story teller ^^ Some thoughts about your last remark on confidence - you're right in that it doesn't determine whether you did well (especially because it's about being teachable and not perfect), but I also think that we (particularly girls) tend to automatically undermine ourselves so as not to feel too disappointed afterwards (or because it's expected socially and we somehow feel we'll be more successful for it in the end?). So to anyone who has an interview coming up, don't put yourself down by trying to depict whatever you did wrong during the interview - your application is reviewed holistically AND like Paige here you'll probably have done better than you think. Good luck to everyone, congratulations for all of your interviews!

[@PaigeY]

YES totally agree with this!

Why have I already watched like 5 of this type of vids already I’m only year 10 I got 3 years to wait 😂

Wait aren't you supposed to apply to colleges in Year 12? I mean in Asia we give our GCSE equivalents in Year 10 and after an advanced 2-year course we sit for the A-Levels equivalent. Anyway, good luck to you! Just a tip: start researching and exploring beyond the syllabus (like books, lectures, courses, papers) by next year so that you have ample amount of time to build your personal statement.
