To all those who have applied to Cambridge Sutton Trust Summer School or UNIQ...

I was rejected from both C: It sucked at the time. I'd had my heart set on going to those summer schools and I took the rejection very personally.
But in spite of those rejections I have a Cambridge offer (lol whether I'll meet the grades is a whole other discussion). I wanted to say, please don't let yourself get down if you aren't accepted to those schemes because they aren't indicative of whether you will receive an offer.
I know someone who went on the Sutton Trust programme who has a Cambridge offer but, equally, I know someone who was accepted onto UNIQ but did not receive the offer.
Don't let any rejection become a self-fulfilled predictor of your future success
