Here are a few suggested opening questions, but ask whatever you want regarding Cambridge.
1) What A levels or other qualifications are you doing?
2) What course at Cambridge are you applying for and why?
3) Why Cambridge? Why not Oxford?
4) Have you decided which college you're applying to?
5) Do you have to sit an admissions test, and if so, when will you start preparing?
6) What supercurricular activities are you doing to help your studies and application?
7) Do you have any idea what you might want to do after uni?
