Hi Peterhouse,
I am looking to apply for Engineering and am wondering whether an application to Cambridge would be worthwhile.
The entry requirements are A*A*A but I have only been predicted A*AA in Maths, FM and Physics respectively.
Some people have suggested to me that it would be a wasted application and it would get tossed out immediately, so some expert advice would be appreciated.
I really like the Cambridge course and would like to study there. My average UMS score was only 90.5 but I plan to retake at least 2 modules, ideally raising it to about 95 (hoping my A2 modules will be at that UMS score also)
My GCSE results were all A* or A, achieving A* in Maths, FM and Physics
Moreover, if Cambridge is unforgiving with the applications, is Oxford is anymore lenient?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rory
