Was it a competitive course?
Yes. Maths.
Cambridge interview a great proportion of medicine applicants, the next most important parts of your application is BMAT and interview (providing you get one, which I'm sure you will!).
As much as people may say it, in reality, Cambridge aren't as big on all your volunteering and the like (it's almost like a pre-requisite anyway) and from my experience they seem to care more about how capable of a thinker you are.
Anyhow, smash the BMAT, write a solid PS and then focus on the interview (by far the most crucial and discriminating part of the Cambridge application). You may have also performed better on the AS Chemistry than you think!
