Cambridge Philosophy 2025-2026 - Help!!
Is it worth applying to do philosophy at Cambridge with my current situation and grades? I have 99988888777 at GCSE (less than average), and I’m predicted A*A*A at A-Level (and an A in EPQ). I also attend a private school which I know Cambridge is more selective about - is it worth it?? If anyone has stories of people with similar grades and circumstance please let me know

Why not? You meet all the requirements on paper. It's a competitive course but there's no obvious glaring issue I can see with your grades.

Are you passionate about philosophy? Do you read a lot around your subject and do extra/super-curriculars that relate to it? If so, you have a great chance with those grades!
