Sutton Trust Summer School 2012

I feel like I might be taking the place of someone who needs it more. Probs give it a go though

Fitzwilliam *checks to see what the criteria were* I'd meet 4 of them too this year although I think there were 7 categories last year because one was to do with EMA so 4 out of 7 last year for me

You know the way it says the only money you need is for personal spending? Well is there even any time to do this since everything is timetabled?

Sounds good What was the accommodation like? Did you have to share a bathroom? I wouldn't exactly be excited to share a bathroom with someone else

I hadn't heard of many unis then one day i decided to google unis in the UK! Hopefully i'll get to a uni where they cook for you! I couldnt imagine myself haven't the time (get off my arse) to cook for myself! But then again i'm kind of excited to live the student life!

There's people in my class doing further maths that got 30 odd percent in normal maths. Crazy or what. See some people i've been speaking to say that Cambridge don't really consider GCSEs that much unless it's between you and some else but i suppose we'd never find out the truth

I'm doing Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. We have mathematical subjects in common!

Nobody on our week had to share a bathroom but I know somebody who went a fortnight afterwards and they had to, there are other summer school running at the same time so it's kind of luck of the draw I think I ended up with a piano in my room

Hey, just got around to coming on TSR. I've been so busy lately

I think I might have to do that one day to fill in the other 3 options in my UCAS. But unless they're amazing I'm pretty much set on going to Cambridge or Leicester if I can't get into there

Lol that's stupid It's just gonna make the sixth form's stats look bad because there'll be quite a few people with bad marks in Further Maths, which is kinda stupid. Why did they even do Further Maths if they ain't amazing at Maths? :/

Yh maths is awesome

Hmm, I think I might apply for the chemistry summer school...

I have 11 A*s, parents have never been to uni, go to a generally good school, live in a low-income area.....

Hopefully I might get in :/

Do you mean other summer schools running as in different subjects?

Lucky getting a piano! I love playing piano. Bet you you kept everyone up all night long? Hehe

Busy doing all that maths homework! You're applying for 2013 entry too aren't you? The whole UCAS thing and writing a personal statement will be... interesting

You wanna know what the best part about the whole "i'm gonna do further maths even though i can't do normal maths" thing is? They want to be a MATHS TEACHER!

A bit confused about adding GCSE grades, I took double science and I see that it says add both grades, but does this mean select science twice and add the two grades?

I took double and I just added it twice.

I had this problem too. If you scroll down a bit when the grade pop up shows you'll see it!

Where does it say that?

Hello! I just thought i'd let you know about the £1000 bursary thing. It says in the booklet that you can download from their site that in Year 13 you will continue to have access to support and guidance from the uni, including e-mentoring, online revision resources and a Spring Reunion Event. So if you progress to do your undergraduate studies at the uni you automatically get £1000 bursary for each year of study!

Raging i'm away for some of that week now :L

Is this true at Cambridge?

Unfortunately not It seems to only be for Nottingham
