Sutton Trust US Programme 2024

Hi everyone, it seems like there haven't been a lot of posts etc for the 2024 round of applications and I saw this was done for last year's cohort. Might be a little late lol but comment ur gcse's, a levels, ecs etc would be nice to see more applicants.

hey there! I applied this year and I am currently stressing out so much because they watched my video only once, not in its entirety and some people on other discussions say that their video was watched twice. How is the case for you? If they watched it, how much did they watch of it?

Don't stress !! They might have loved your video so much they only watched it once and got whatever info they wanted from you and it seemed like in other discussions they also stopped watching pretty early on in their videos. Plus if you go through older threads you'd see people who's video were never even watched 😭 How long was your video tho? Mine was only 3 minutes long

Highkey I'm scared cause of I've seen some of the ones public on YouTube and they all seem really good- tho the vid is supposed to unlisted so maybe they might deduct points for it?

Same I'm really scared cause we have less than 2 weeks left till the results and I don't think I'd be able to apply to US unis without Sutton Trust so much on the line rn

i think they got it the 1st of march! i’m not sure tho they said sutton trust delayed it and it was rolling admissions
Hi! I was just wondering, did anyone put they had extenuating circumstances that May have affected a part of their application? My GCSEs weren’t the best and idk if extenuating circumstances would really be taken into account
