Hey do you think I will have a chance in getting into Cambridge as an international student that goes to a high school that’s not very well known. And do you think that having an IB diploma will help me get in? Thanks, I love your videos!
Hiya!! Sorry it's taken me so long to see this and reply to it - I do tend to reply to any comments/questions asked so if you have any more do let me know and hopefully it'll come up as a notification for me so I can reply sooner :) In short - if you have a good set of grades from iGCSEs/equivalent, the predicted IB grades required to apply for your chosen course, and do okay in any entrance exams for Cambridge, then you should be offered an interview. And if you get an interview and do okay at that too, then you're definitely in with a shot! :) I have some friends at uni currently who took IB and who are also international students so it's certainly not impossible. I wouldn't say it would 'help' you get in over a student with French Baccalaureate or A levels, but it certainly shouldn't put you at any disadvantage either. There's never any harm in applying (minus the mental stress lol) but if you don't try for it you'll never know! And finally - thank you so much for the support on my videos :) That's very kind of you and really appreciated!
