What does oxbridge care about ??

Can I ask what Oxford and Cambridge uni really care about ? And what should I do to stand out and what are some things that are waste of time counting towards my application as a candidate..?

Thank you!

You’ll have to be more specific about which courses you’re interested in, because the answer to your question can vary substantially based on the subject for instance, admissions tests are extremely important for some, while others don’t even have one.

Have a look at the relevant pages on the university's website. Oxford doesn't conceal its interests. There is no secret code, hack, or spell. Oxford isn't Hogwarts.
