I have my heart set on studying law at Cambridge university. I am 15 and just starting year 11 with 2 A* in Maths and English already. By the end of this year, I hope to have 6 A* in total, 3 A and a B (my realistic aspirations).
I go to a brilliant school that, this year, had the best GCSE results in the county and is in the top 5% of schools, nationally. Unfortunately, the A-Level results are not coherent with the GCSE results and the head teacher has, in the past, considered getting rid of the sixth form center.
So, what do you think of grammar schools? I live about 45 minutes from a grammar school which isn't convenient, but I have to realistically weigh up what will be most beneficial and opportunistic. Apparently Cqmbridge judge undergraduate candidates by comparing the performances of the candidate to the other students in that school. How true is this?
Also if their are any Cambridge students reading this, I'd be interested in asking some questions so please leave a comment!
Any comment are much appreciated!
