Hey! I'm applying for Politics and International Relations (would love to know who else has applied for something similar!) :smile:

My predicts are A*AA. My IGCSEs (international gcses, harder) are 7 A*s and one B.
Other places I'm applying to: LSE, Cambridge, Edinburgh, maybe Bath/Warwick.
Extracurriculars are a lot: Really into MUN, attended meetings at the UN HQ in New York with staff, set up ECA for kids on the UN SDGs, other stuff that I didn't put on my PS like debate club and DofE LOL

Yup I am, I've already done A Level Maths (last year) so I'm sitting Chem, Econs & Further Maths at the end of this academic year (+ an EPQ). Wbu, what do you take? Andddd I dunno, but in my school we have something called Extreme Maths so I do that - basically problem solving and I do Maths Mentoring.

Cool I take Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and EPQ :smile:

Well in a dream world I'd like to do more research on poverty and development economics but in reality I think I will probably work for advising government policy or go into finance :smile:

Hey, I am also applying to ESPS, with French. I'm thinking of specialising in Geography. Have you sent in your application yet? I heard at the virtual open day that the TSA (which I'm finding quite hard atm!) will be online, and there won't be an assessment day with a discussion.
