How do people pick what college to apply to at Cambridge University?

<p>^ Actually, the most oversubscribed programs at Cambridge are Economics and mathematics. These are some of the hardest programs to get onto at Cambridge. </p>

<p>OP, what is your major/subject interest? Some colleges at Cambridge are particular “known” for some programs (examples, Trinity College for mathematics and St. John’s for computer science), although I must say that all colleges have the same academic standards. Also, colleges vary is sizes. It’s best that you do some research about each college before applying.</p>
