<p>Hi there!</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to Oxbridge, but I know that they care a lot more about your grades and test scores than your EC’s. If you’re an American applicant, you’ll have to send them your SAT/AP scores as well as your transcript and a couple other things, if I recall correctly. They also care a lot about the interview and you’ll either have to fly in for it or do it over Skype (I’d recommend doing it in person if you have the chance). The interviewers–tutors for your chosen subject-- will grill you on your declared area of study, so be sure you know your stuff! So to answer your question, unfortunately I don’t believe the process is very holistic. </p>
<p>Here’s a link to what could be considered the CC of the UK: <a href=“http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■.co.uk/”>http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■.co.uk/</a>
And some help for interview questions: <a href=“http://www.cambridgeinterviewquestions.com/”>http://www.cambridgeinterviewquestions.com/</a></p>
<p>Best of luck! </p>
