<p>sorry abhishiv, that is correct. What I meant is that they are not necessary to be written if you aren't going to school in the UK. I don't know why I said that you could only write them there. It was a Friday.</p>
<p>The deadline for international applications for Oxbridge has been moved forward to 20th September the preceeding year. 15th October deadline for UK and EU students.</p>
<p>You can only apply to Oxford or Cambridge, not both.</p>
<p>They hold interviews in Vancouver and New York for North American applicants. Oxford occassionally offer phone interviews (maybe if you live in Hawaii?) but I haven't heard of Cambridge doing this. These interviews are much earlier than those for UK/EU students. About October time.</p>
<p>You don't need to do A-levels if you are outside the UK, and it would be too late to start them now as an A-level grade includes course work done in class over a 2 year period.</p>
<p>If you think you are smart enough to go to Oxford or Cambridge, you should also be smart enough to look up the application process on their web-sites.

<p>cupcake your location says Oxford - what college are you at there?</p>
<p>Nevermind.</p>
<p>Linacre, a graduate only college.</p>
<p>[liangshengtm] For non-EU students (Canadians included, I guess), the 2007-08 Cambridge tuition fees are 9,054 pounds for Band 1 (most humanities majors + mathematics); 11,862 pounds for Band 2 (engineering + most natural sciences); and 21,954 pounds for the clinical part of the Medicine course. In addition, as an international student, you will also have to pay a fee to your residential college (between 3,200 and 3,750 pounds a year, depending on the college). Finally, personal living expenses at Cambridge are estimated to be around 7,000 pounds/year. Adding the figures up, you should be prepared as an international student to spend over 20,000 pounds/year for a Cambridge degree (note that financial aid for non-EU students is very scarce/limited, so you should not count on that).</p>
<p>PS1: In recent times, the pound has been trading in the range 1.85 - 1.90 US dollars/ 1 pound.</p>
<p>PS2: Keep in mind that , irrespective of your intended major, you will have to apply to a specific college at Cambridge, as the individual colleges (as opposed to the university or university departments) are the ones actually responsible for admitting or rejecting students. If you don't select a college in your application, the university will forward your papers to a college of its choosing.
