Social Mobility Foundation Residential Programme

I've applied too but they haven't got back to me either - they've just updated their FB page saying they're still selecting people and we should hear from them soon! Fingers crossed

What residentials have you applied to? I've applied for the London Whitehall!

I've applied for the Medicine residential, really nervous now just want to know if I've got in or not :/ Good luck! I guess we shall find out next week 😁

Ohh good luck! What gcses did you get? And what did you write about on your application if you don't mind me asking!

I got 6 A's 3B's and a Distinction in Additional Maths, what about you? For the "You are a product of your own environment I talked about how we are all individuals and that there are other factors involved and then just talked about a bunch of case studies. And then for the biggest problem in the world I talked about overpopulation, what kind of things did you write? 😊

Aw that's amazing! I got 3A*s, 6As and a B! And I wrote about gender inequality both in the east and the west! For the product of your environment I wrote about meritocracy and the influence of a persons environment and for the dinner question I wrote about daisy bates!

Wow! Them grades are amazing too! For the dinner question I wrote about Elizabeth Garret Anderson, it took me ages to decide for that question, there were just too many people to choose from! I was also trying not to be too predictable and obvious as well

Still haven't heard from them yet but fingers crossed :s I spent absolutely ages on the application haha! For the dinner question I talked about Gregor Mendel haha and for the biggest problem I talked about the media and the effect of youtubers and vloggers on our generation. I talked about the Neolithic revolution for the product of environment question and about how conditions such as cystic fibrosis highlight a person's experience of life due to their genome.

That sounds so good!!! What residential did you apply for?
