Oh ok, I read something about them ‘adjusting offers’ or something along those lines but I must have misunderstood.
I know that Cambridge is going to be challenging work and academic wise. I plan on talking to my GC on the AP classes so I can take them and the exams. (As well to be prepared as possible if I was to get accepted) There might be a community college near where I live but there’s a state college right near my house, would that help? With summer coming around, taking AP courses that way wouldn’t hurt.

I also know that the tests and exams aren’t just to make your application look fancy,they’re to see how well you can handle rigorous courses along with knowing and getting a taste of what you’ll be learning. I don’t expect them or Cambridge to be easy and I always been keen on getting my work done at school and spending lunches at tutoring and I personally don’t mind academic challenges (I quite enjoy them actually) but I get what you’re saying. It can be overwhelming, especially when transitioning from the american public highschool system to one of another country. I’m also very focused, especially with things I’m determined and interested in. I was really fascinated by the tutorial system when reading about it as well. My friends may also think its lame but I personally enjoy taking the notes and doing the work (I guess a sense of accomplishment when getting it done…idk).

I will make sure to keep all the challenges in mind before choosing to apply though! I’ve done research but I’m going to do more research on their curriculum to be 120% sure that Cambridge is a school I want to apply to.

And since I was mainly looking at Queens college, I didn’t know that about Kings College. Thank you for letting me know!

I really want to make it a goal to get 5’s on 5 AP exams (like you said earlier, it would show my ability on stepping up to the work required at cambridge and it would in way show me personally that I’m ready for what they want from their students) so I’ll take the three AP courses at my school and the other two or three online or at a community college (or state if that is ok).
