Re: Oxford "UNIQ" summer schools.....no no no you're absolutely right. I got an e-mail from Oxford University themselves confirming this. I am so annoyed - private schools are clearly NOT priviledged if their university applicants can't get the same benefits that state schools are getting.(Original post by micky022)
I don't know, but something tells me no. I'm sure I read somewhere that it's for state schools, since private schools are more privileged anyways with regards to universities. I could be wrong, you'd have to check at www.ox.ac.uk/uniq
What happened to Oxbridge treating everyone equally. God, some universities are so full of it! haha -

Re: Oxford "UNIQ" summer schools.....Well, to be honest, a great deal of the programme is to give pupils an experience of university life they may not get otherwise - I, for instance, don't know any adults who went straight from school to uni.(Original post by airey_head)

Public schools are also much less prepared to submit pupils to Oxbridge, and even the very few that apply, state schools have little to offer in terms of support/help for interviews or testing.Last edited by SelfishGiant; 11-02-2010 at 00:09. -

Re: Oxford "UNIQ" summer schools.....I wish I had that many words left(Original post by micky022)
Mine was about 800 under or something. 'I love Law. Yeah, err, that's it. Did I do good?'
. Mine is about 4 under, and even that basically cut out loads of stuff and all the nice touches to it. I'm really displeased with it now :s.

In your P.S just write y do you want to go to summer school and y have u applied to this course and DO NOT mention about your extra activities as you only have 300-400 words to play around and if take like 200 word saying that you have done this and that u are just going to waste your words and they only want you there for like a week and what they want to know is that if you enjoy the subject u study.If you have done something like lab placement or feild work THAN it is useful to say but saying that you enjoy playing football is not that important.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR APPLICATION.
and you can join the facebook group for this summer school.
