Cambridge Head Concerned About ‘Skewed’ Admissions

The head of admissions at the University of Cambridge has voiced concerns about the ‘skewed’ admissions process currently in place. In a recent interview, Dr. Claire Hallam expressed her worries about the lack of diversity in the student body and the impact that this could have on the overall academic environment.

Dr. Hallam highlighted the challenges faced by students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, who may not have access to the resources and support needed to excel in the highly competitive admissions process. She emphasized the importance of creating a more inclusive and accessible system that truly reflects the talent and potential of all applicants.

As one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world, Cambridge has long been criticized for its elitist admissions practices. Dr. Hallam’s comments signal a potential shift towards a more equitable and transparent process that prioritizes merit and diversity.

It remains to be seen how Cambridge will address these concerns and work towards a fairer admissions process in the future.
