I am an Oxbridge Engineering Re-Applicant and this year I feel that Cambridge should not have rejected me pre-interview. What should I do if I feel that the decision was unfair?

depends, why do you feel that their decision was unfair?

That said, I believe that Cambridge should have at least invited for the interview.

Since I got rejected from Oxford for 2020 entry I had enrolled in a local University in my country(Mauritius). I thus have quite some knowledge on university level engineering. Pre-Covid I prepared for the cancelled June 2021 further maths exam and ordered some recommended textbooks by Imperial College London for personal further reading. I successfully completed MOOCs from MIT, Harvard, Imperial and TokyoTech. I completed a virtual engineering program with Goldman Sachs. My reference was great as it showed my enthusiasm towards engineering and how I went beyond the A-Level syllabus during high school. In addition to A-Levels I studied AS Level Biology and General Paper and even got an 'a' in both subjects. I got positive feedback on my personal statement from several people. I sat for a Diploma of Studies in French Language exam so that I could go on a year-abroad program with Cambridge.

You dont have access to the full cohort of applicants, the detail of their applicant analysis and are not in a position to make a judgment.

the course is very competitive, so maybe you didnt do as well on the admissions exam as other students

I suggest you get over it, move on.

Have you perhaps considered you are biased and overstating your achievements? Oxbridge have designed their process to go past grades, and assess a person's actual aptitudes, grades and extra curriculars alone won't get you an offer.

Might be the case. But what is required to actually get in?
