Cambridge Called Me for Interview. Help!!

Hello, I live in India, and received a mail from Cambridge which invited me for an interview. If I’ve got through the admission process, how much % are my chances that I get into Cambridge?? I mean, is my work 20% done? Or 50% done? or 80% done? I know that the interview is an important part for admission, but I just wanted to know where I am standing. Please help me. Thank you so much.

Please help me! I’m very nervous. I don’t have a reliable person here in my city whom I can ask such questions. :frowning:

It depends partly on the subject and college: are you required to take an aptitude test, and if so when?

If you have a test, that will be make or break; if not it will all come down to the interview

fyi, the overall offer rate for Indian students is about 2.1%, and the success rate (ie, got an offer and met the conditions) is about 1.7%

@collegemom3717 I have it. I am applying for Computer Science, and I have an aptitude test for CS and Maths on 11 Dec.

Thanks for the stats. :slight_smile:

It’s pretty great that you got called to interview- good luck!

@firetruck you are correct to see it as one step, one hoop in a continuing series. Compsci is very competitive.

Have you watched any vlogs? This is a very good one with lots of advice from a cam compsci grad: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc1Pn7FxieMohCZFPYEbs7w. There is also oxvlog.

ooh- @firetruck, that’s good advice from @alcibiade
