Does the Oxbridge College you choose matter?
Hi! Just wondering if applying to a more popular Oxbridge college will decrease chances of getting in due to more competitive applications?
You can't game the college system, as colleges will see if your application is great or not, and if they think you have a strong application they'll pool you at least at Cambridge, I haven't done much research into Oxford. If so then your application will be considered at other colleges as well. Although I would argue it matters to you personally for which college you apply, as you'd want to tailor the college you choose to your preferences.
