Hi, I'm a student from Germany and I'm thinking of applying this year for maths at either Oxford or Cambridge. I've got a few questions concerning my application:
1. Both universities require a minimum of A*A*A at a-level, but does anyone know the equivalent to the Abitur?
2. Would an overall score of 1.3 (with 13,14,14,14 points in maths) be enough as academic requirement?
3. And where is it harder to get in? Oxford or Cambridge? Which test do you consider easier? MAT or STEP?
4. Would any after school activities or a successful participation in a math contest (such as math olypiads etc.) increase my chance of getting in?
