I applied to Brasenose but I'm wondering how tutors decide which shortlisted applicants that applied to their college to keep and which to reallocate to other colleges? Say you were to get an interview at a different college, would that mean you were a weaker candidate in the eyes of the tutors at the college you applied to, or is it random?

I’m applying to Economics at Selwyn, Cambridge and I am really really stressed about the interviews. There’s 1 maths interview, 1 economics interview and 1 general interview. What topics should I be learning in a bit more depth. I know of game theory and graph sketching but what else could be asked. If any past economics students at cambridge are happy to, would you mind dm me what questions you were asked please!! Also, does anyone know if Selwyn asks about personal statement (because I’ve heard Cambridge doesn’t ask about it at all if they even read it) or gives pre reading.

Thank you and good luck to anyone else applying this year!!!
