I found the talk by the representative from University of  Cambridge very informative, as it explained the application process, the A-level requirements for different courses, and how to prepare for applying. It also gave me a better understanding of university life, including accommodation, social opportunities and the costs involved.

During the visit, I learnt that University of Cambridge looks not only for high grades, but also for passion, potential, and the ability to explain your thinking clearly during interviews. I also learnt about the collegiate system and how it creates a supportive environment with lots of opportunities beyond studies, as well as how bursaries help students from different backgrounds succeed.

The University of Cambridge presentation was very useful because I had originally assumed the majority of students came from private schools, but it was stated that 70% of students come from a state school background. Also, the mock interview questions shown were an insightful view of how the university assesses the analytical approach of prospective students.

I got a clear insight of what life at university is like from this experience, what you can do besides studying for your major and the financial help you can receive to go to university. I also got helpful support on how to reach the stages of applying to university, such as personal statements and extracurricular activities for the CV.
