Anyone got an offer at Cambridge for Undergraduate Computer Science with IB MAI HL?

Hi all, this is my first post here so forgive me so please bear with me.

I read on the University of Cambridge website that colleges "expect" IB students to take MATH AA HL. They suggested for students that don't have MAA HL offered at their IB school to try contacting the individual colleges for further assistance.

The thing is, my IB school DOES offer MAA HL. (Yes, I know I should have taken that instead. No, it's too late to change now.)

I still want to apply. Of course, I will do my own self-study to supplement gaps in mathematical knowledge, as well as joining any significant mathematical competitions to look good on my CV.

I tried searching online to see if anyone with IB MAI HL ever got accepted into Cambridge for CS, but I only found an old post of someone trying to apply. Not sure if that person got accepted or not.

If you got accepted for CS at Cambridge with MAI HL, what exactly did you have to do to achieve it? Was MAA HL offered in your school? Were there any extra conditions attached to the offer, or any other extra pre-requisites? Which college did you enrolled in?
