To be eligible to apply to a major, typically a student will have done well in a tutorial offered by that major. In fall, you will take the Oxbridge Introductory Seminar, a special course exclusively for Oxbridgers designed to help students make the transition from high school to high-level honors work and from regular classes to tutorials.
You may also take a foundation course for your intended Oxbridge major. By the end of the year, you will be years ahead of where you were when you started.
