Hey there, I was just wondering what the acceptance rate is for Cambridge University? I'm an international student, and I'm considering applying, but I'd like to know more about how competitive it is to get in. Thanks!
Hey! The acceptance rate at the University of Cambridge tends to fluctuate within a range. For international undergraduate students, the acceptance rate is around 21%. However, take into consideration that some courses might be more competitive than others, and applicants' academic profiles and extracurricular activities play a crucial role in the admission process.
Apart from the overall acceptance rate, I'd advise you to look at the specific course requirements for applying to your preferred major. Tailor your application to demonstrate your passion and fit for the major, including relevant A-level or AP subjects, strong test scores (such as IELTS or TOEFL for English proficiency), and extracurricular activities that showcase your skills and interests in the field.
Lastly, the application process for international students is slightly different from what domestic students go through, so make sure you understand the process which includes a pre-interview assessment test for most of the majors.
Good luck with your application!
