In 12th grade I will try to get excellent grades in all my classes, especially in the subjects I will need for my major.

Well this is what it states on their website for Bulgarian applicants Minimum offers for applicants taking the Diploma za Sredno Obrazovanie (Diploma for Completed Secondary Education) would be based on an overall score of 5.8, and 6.0 in 2 relevant Matura subjects. We recommend that prospective applicants take a third relevant subject to the highest level possible within their school. so as long as you meet these requirement it should be ok. But also bear in mind that it is Cambridge so it is even more competitive and you need supercurriculars as well as good grades. Good luck xx
