Help needed reapplying to Cambridge

Hello, TSR. I'm looking for help reapplying to Cambridge after I got better than expected results in my A levels (4 A stars). I am currently holding an offer for Mathematics from Warwick University and I want to accept that offer but still apply to Cambridge while in Warwick. Are there any colleges that accept reapplications from students in this circumstance? Or do I have to reject my offer to reapply to Cambridge? I haven't done STEP yet, I'd have to do it next year. Thanks for any replies.

You could ask Warwick if you could defer your offer (which would mean you'd take a gap year), which would allow you to apply to Cambridge in the coming application cycle. Warwick might say no though, in which case you'd need to decide if you want to start the whole UCAS process again from scratch, or go to Warwick this year.

that's something I considered but if possible I wouldn't want to delay my university entry by one year, unless it was definitely for Cambridge/Oxford. I want to take the minimum risk approach so even if I mess up the interview I still have my studies going on in Warwick.

Cambridge will not consider you unless you decline your offer, they do not accept students who have offers elsewhere

you can't apply to Cambridge while studying at another uni or while holding a deferred offer, you'd need to reject Warwick first. honestly I don't recommend it, Warwick is great and there's no guarantee you'd make the step grades if you did apply, lots of people who get very high a*s in maths and FM still don't manage step

what about oxford?

omg im in the exact same situation, got into Warwick for law with A*s but want to reapply to oxbridge while in Warwick!! idk what to do either

haha I'm another one, got 4A* and going to Warwick but for engineering. It looks like Warwick has a lot of Cambridge wannabes

I would like to but have given up on the idea. I think our priority should be to do our best in Warwick and find other opportunities after we’ve graduated. For me, I’m hoping to get a master degree from Imperial :’) What about you? Are you reapplying to Cam?
