<p>you can’t apply to both cambridge and oxford.. you have to choose one</p>

<p>and by the way..</p>

<p>they don’t care AT ALL about your GPA, ECs, etc</p>

<p>The only things they consider are: AP scores (big), SAT scores, teacher reqs (different format from us ones), and your personal statement (again, very different from us ones)…</p>

<p>Post your AP scores as well… you need at least five exams before your senior year.</p>
