<p>I have a daughter at Oxford, a niece at Cambridge (neither doing medicine), and have mentored a fair number of students who have applied to one or other of them (as well as some other UK / Irish unis) </p>
<p>Can you say more about what your child’s plans / aspirations are? is s/he planning to practice medicine in the UK or the US? what are the drivers for medicine and Cambridge in particular? </p>
