Easiest Cambridge College for Medicine Admissions?

Hey, future med student here! I'm applying to Cambridge for Medicine. Do you guys know if there's any particular college known to be easier for Medicine admissions? Or is that even a thing?

While it's a common misconception, there's really no such thing as an "easiest" Cambridge college for medicine admissions or any other subject. All Cambridge colleges uphold the same prestigious academic standards. The decision ultimately boils down to your prospective supervisor and if your application impresses them.

In terms of statistics, the number of applicants per college and the number of offers made can vary greatly each year due to a number of factors - the size and space of the college, number of supervisors available, and other fluctuating circumstances. So, it's difficult, and indeed misleading, to draw conclusions from these.

Instead, focus on the 'fit' of the college. For instance, if you prioritize a smaller, more tight-knit community, then perhaps you'd appreciate Clare, Corpus Christi, or Gonville and Caius. For a larger student body, maybe consider St. John's or Trinity.

Regarding facilities, some colleges may have better on-site gyms, libraries, or music/music practice facilities, for example. Location might be a factor too. Queen's, King's, and Corpus Christi are very central, while Girton is a bit further out if you prefer a quieter environment.

Remember, your choice of college will not significantly impact the quality of your education nor your future prospects. It's more about the lifestyle and culture each college offers, and which one suits you the most. Use the Cambridge college explorer to help with your research.
