Cambridge Classics question
I am doing Latin a level, and I’ve applied for the 3 year Classics BA at Cambridge and done my interview, and I think it went pretty well overall, but I know that my language skills that they tested were quite weak.
Do you think that there is a chance that I could get offered the 4 year course (for people that haven’t done Latin a level), because the only part of my application that is noticeably weaker than the rest is the language?

No, because the four-year Classics course is for those without Latin A-Level, which you have, not for those who are just weaker on the language. They still expect those on the four-year Classics course to be equally capable at learning Latin (and Greek) but have not had the opportunity to do so.
