Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! :frown:( But my GCSEs grades overall were 9-6s and for English Literature it was an 8, and a 7 for Language.

I'm pretty sure it was based on how disadvantaged a person is (eg their area, the school etc), so they are able to get an opportunity at a more prestigious school, not based on their GCSE grades. So don't be downhearted, I'm sure there are still other summer schools you can apply to.

did you have to pay for those, or were any of them free/what kind of cost? (If you don't mind saying)

They were all free! I got in based off of my own grades and chances as a prospective student. I've applied for English there for the Sutton Trust summer school too (I don't except much from that though)

sorry if all the questions are getting tiring, but where do you find the courses? are you subscribed to an email or something because I'm struggling to find anything. Sorry again for all the questions. And thanks for the helpful info. I wish you good luck with getting in!

Yes, I'm subscribed to the Cambridge Student email and they'll send me some emails of events going on ☺️ You can try subscribing to Oxford. I found out about some other events from looking on Tik tok and typing in (let's take law for example) "Law related summer schools" or "law related supper curriculars". I also just mainly searched on Google. It depends on the subject you want to do, but just typing up the same thing on Tik tok into Google can possibly help find stuff. If you're looking for summer schools in particular, just look on the university websites as most universities should do this ☺️ Any more questions lmk!!
