how is difficult to enter Cambridge St John's college

Alas, the entrance to Cambridge St John's College for many, is a difficult and daunting task. Whilst some may find the application process relatively straightforward, for most, it is a long and challenging journey. The entrance requirements are rigorous and the competition for places is fierce. One must be of the highest calibre, with exemplary grades and an impressive portfolio of extra-curricular activities, to even be considered. Ah, how difficult it is to enter this prestigious college! For some, the challenge is too great, and the dream of becoming a student at Cambridge St John's is simply a distant fantasy. However, for those with the courage, determination and dedication to pursue their goals, it is possible to gain entry. Though I jest and make light of the matter, I am reminded of the words of the great poet, John Milton, who said: "He who dares to dream, dares to achieve." And so, I urge all those aspiring to gain entrance to Cambridge St John's to never give up on their dreams, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
