Anybody at Cambridge?
I'm thinking of applying to study history there, so would anybody be able to tell me what I should expect in terms of an interview and the questions, the most likely college to be accepted into, entrance exams, college life, anything to use in my advantage to get in (family instability, trauma, ethnicity, sexuality, etc)?
You couldn't pay me to go to such a faggot ridden place
Stanford/MIT or nothing

There is absolutely nothing wrong with faggots.

other than their copious use use of the ineffective and entirely pseudointelectual marxist historical method of analysis. at worst go to oxford and just learn latin and greek

I'm definitely not a marxist and want to go study history. Fuck off, brainlet

Jesus College is a best, the rest have inflated reputations due to meme magic.
St.John's is bretty gud too, don't listen to the shit about preferring to be at Oxford over St.John's. Also, Darwin is nice.

The things you mention as being helpful for admission won't be helpful at Cambridge. It isn't some SJW-ridden US state school. Family may be helpful if you're related to alums or somebody famous/wealthy who has donated a large sum recently.
If you're applying for graduate work, talk about what you could contribute to the university's research and knowledge of a field. Have a strong idea of what your research will be about.

I was thinking of applying to St. John's college but I'm peasant-tier and haven't had anyone in my family go to university, as far back as my great-grandparents and presumably not before then.

It's for undergrad study and I'm a completely poor pleb. Although I have several friends there (due to me taking a gap year).

Don't get intimidated by the idea that you need to be connected, you don't. I'm a burger who went to a Midwestern uni nobody has heard of, and I'm not from money either.
