Hey, I’m Dan and I am applying to SSE.

I’ve been getting between 95%-100% in all business papers I have done, I constantly fall comfortably between A* and A for English, I got a B in one of my mocks (If I can do it once, I can probably do it again/better)

- Got pretty good GCSE results (Average of a grade 8)
- Attended every single SSE event they held online/in the UK since late 2022
- Was a leading creative for an exhibition to be hosted by the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) which relates to social issues and concepts linking to weeds
- Helped with transition classes and assisted students who need extra support in lessons

I feel like my application is pretty strong. I know that the minimum they admit is grades BBB (Or equivalent, but merging A and A* grades together). With the SAT, they admitted scores from 1220 - 1600, with a Median score of 1380 and an average if 1383. I hope to fall near the average with my retake.

I think when I apply I will do it VIA Särskilda Meriter so I can double my chances and apply for both courses.

Please be honest and give advice on how I can strengthen my application even more.
