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
i did!! but idk how much they do take into account

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.


Hiya!! I’m stressed rn because my video still doesn’t have any views 😭 😭. My GCSEs are: 10 9s and 1 8. A levels are: maths, further maths, chem and bio (pred. 4A*s). Extracurricular wise, I think I’m a little weaker (mainly caring for my dad with stage 4 cancer and siblings outside of school) but I also do sports, debating, science tutoring etc…. I would love to get accepted and meet you guys, it’s rlly great to see so many people with the same interests :smile:)). Best of luck to everyone!!

Thank you!! For career interests, I wrote about becoming a researcher or working within academia after I do a phd (in chemistry hopefully....). For my essays and stuff I just wrote about how much I loved the flexible undergraduate system and the fact that you can major and minor in a lot of subjects. And how I just love the vast geography of America and its culture in general too!

Oh thats weird. Every-time I’ve emailed them they always reply on the day or in a week at most. Ive talked about mundane things tbh like making sure they have my reference, details on the ACT, and making a slight change to my application and stuff
