There’s nothing you should do but wait, I’m afraid.
Colleges are still sending out invites (and otherwise). Many are still waiting.

Just got an interview from Johns for Phys NatSci!!!

I had just received this email from John’s titled “your interview at St John’s College”, but it doesn’t look like an invitation letter... May I ask how the invitation came to you?

Why does St john's have a general interview along with two subject interviews for Natsci? I thought all that matters for cambridge is how good you are at your subject and not other general stuff?

edit: it doesn't help that st john's is already known for exclusivity xD i don't buy into that kinda stuff though

It's still an academically focused interview. Often they schedule it before the subject interviews as a bit of a warm up. The subject interviews are more important.

In my cousin’s one, he was asked what he had read recently, then anytime he said something the interviewer would ask more questions off of that

"General academic interview

You may also have a general academic interview, where you may be asked:

•

to expand on the information you gave in your personal statement so keep a record of what you wrote

•

why you want to come to Cambridge, and why you're interested in your subject

•

about your wider academic work/interests and what you hope to do in the future as a career. However, don't worry if you haven't got any definite plans at this stage"
