Anyone from Seven Kings High School...

OP

Oh, I had an interview today as well! What time was yours?

And ah, that sucks. :/ If I have the majority A/A*s with maybe one B, would I have a chance?

its actually really competitive!! i was predicated 6As nd 4bs nd 2cs and got rejected straight away.

But then i smashed my gcse and got 10As nd 3bs :biggrin:

and they gave me a offer on induction day. People with better grades then me got rejected on that day, so u really need do REALLY well in the interview!!

kegs and ilford county also gave me an offer on the same da and they r by far, way better then SKHS, so i rejected SKHS lool

Oh, thanks so much for telling me this! I was really worried that they might reject me solely from looking at my application. How did you do in the interview? I had mine today and I thought I was looking a bit... scruffy? I felt really out of place with everyone in their school blazers, short clean haircuts and everything.

I've got my A* in maths and predicted a few more A*s, a few As and a couple Bs. Am I just stressing over it for no reason?

Im currently at Seven Kings and in yr11 so I'm in a similar position to you guys :smile:

If your an external its really competitive especially because this year they have less places as they oversuscribed last year.
Happy to answer any questions :biggrin:

Dont worry too much about the looks mate, they are plenty of sixth formers in our school that have some crazy hairstyles and a lot of stubble as long as you abide by the rules of the dress code they dont mind :smile:

Pretty awesome grades their though :wink:

Ahh, what kinda grades do the externals on average need to get? Is it like one of those straight A*s/As sixth forms?

Well yeah you gotta be pretty high up there since its external so their obviously going to be picky but as long as you got great grades in your desired AS level subjects and didnt completely fail the rest I am sure you will be find :smile:

the fact that you got an interview today shows that you got a good chance as they filter through the applicants before designating them interviews

I went there for sixth form three years ago... I had average GCSEs. They like to play up their reputation a lot and remind you that you're "lucky to be here".
