From a more selective private school, would at or near all 9s be important?

Well,if you are at a selective and others that are applying have higher results then its not exactly going to be in your favour,but gcses are only a part of the application.

Wait...some schools have US uni advisors?? I thought my school was snazzy having an Oxbridge coordinator.

probably, the admission is contextual ... I applied to both UK and US as an int'l student, happy to share more, just DM me

I'm currently a while off from applying to university, but I wondered if anyone could provide any feedback/analysis on my expected extracurriculars by the time I apply. I'm a UK student hoping for Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Columbia, but I realise that chances are low :smile:

- Head of Model UN
- Head of Debating club
- Head of national economics student non-profit with over 1000 members
- Head of economics club
- Winner of 10+ awards for MUN/debate, ranging from national qualification to #1 conference ranking for category etc
- Grade 8 (1-8 ranking) public speaking (highest qualification)
- Decent fencing ability, hopefully near varsity by the time I apply
- Senior in student government (there is no class president)
