University of Cambridge is a Extreme Reach school on our readiness map — that label describes how demanding the preparation is for international-school applicants, not an admission probability.

Based in Cambridge, United Kingdom (UK Top 10, QS 2026 Global #6 per QS World University Rankings 2026), it reviews both AP and A-Level curricula, so the question is not which system you study but how strong your core-subject evidence is.

The benchmarks and admit-case chart below come from anonymized application records of Chinese international-school students, aggregated with percentile ranges to protect every individual case.

Ranges use P25/P75 percentiles instead of extremes so a single outlier cannot skew the picture.
