Can a random guy enter cambridge university

Question

Hey everybody,I'm here to ask this question which might be impossible but I always love challenges. Ever since I'm born I've encountered many obstacles which made my scholarship harder I've changed so many times of schools because of my parents. So I was thinking of entering a big universities since I have experience in adapting into different environments. That's why I aim for Cambridge university but since my grades aren't the best would it be possible to have such a big chance of entering such a prestigious university?

Probably not, if your grades are not very good. There's a lot of competition to get in.

A lot of importance is also placed on your non-academic interests and activities, to see if you are a well-rounded person with an inquiring mind.

You could consider applying to Oxford as well as to Cambridge.

The simple answer is probably not, but it's a question you should put to the university in question, not us.

I can tell you, though, that generally you will need three straight 'A's at 'A' level or equivalent to gain admission to Cambridge, one of the world's finest universities.

You used the term 'big university'. Universities in general tend to be big, often having thousands of students.

And why Cambridge? It is just one of the 'big' universities in the UK -- there are many others that could be called big, and they all offer a first-rate undergraduate education.

Have you looked at the Cambridge website? That should be your first port of call.
