Is it worth me applying for Natural Sciences at Cambridge ??

And what do you see? And from which source?

If you have the opportunity (as in the potential, which you do) AND you want to be at Cambridge for the course they specifically provide (the modules listed align with your interests) then it is not a waste.

I personally applied to Cambridge because I could - I had the grades and my teachers suggested to me and I had never been viewed of that highly academically in my whole life until that point, so I applied... but really I just applied because I had the opportunity.
I didn't necessarily have the later - the interest in the specific course there . There where other uni's with other courses tailored to my interests more.

They say when you go for your interview, they are assessing whether you would benefit or fit in with Cambridge. It was quite obvious why I didn't pass the interview - it was because I focused too much on trying to be their ideal (to whatever extent I could) so I could get in rather than showing my genuine interest, and tbh I guess I didn't have much because the course was just standard.

For you, if you have the potential AND you have the interest in that course specifically (the latter is way more important imo), then what have you got to loose?

“Natural Sciences students develop a range of skills that are highly valued by employers and they go into a wide range of careers, for example, recent graduates include a maths teacher, a product development scientist, an investment banking analyst, and a management consultant.”

From the Cambridge website. Prospects for those hoping to work in a field of science isn’t very strong and you can see most graduates don’t end up working in the field after graduation unless they want to do research. The job prospects isn’t bad in general but if you hope to become a healthcare scientist etc you’ll probably want to look at another degree. The course outline covers the three core sciences Bio Chem and Phys, you won’t be specialised as such but you gain experience that is valuable in other proffessions.

I have never even considered applying to oxbridge in my life due to the reputation it has of being so elite and unreachable.
However I am determined to try and get in , I got 5 A*s (one a 9) , 3 A's and 2 B's at GCSE , which isn't really much for a cambridge applicant probs aha.
I do Chemistry, Biology and Maths A-level and I'm predicted 3 A*s (so far)
I do things like boxing, volunteering, doing work experience rn and more.
So my question is, before I go for it and perfect my personal statement by doing lots of enrichment stuff, is it worth me putting it down or is it a waste of an option ???
