Hills Road 2022 application

OP

Original post by isabelbelle

hi! current year 13 whos also out of area ! Cambridge students do tend to stay in their secondary school groups i found, however take that hesitantly as my year did around 5-6 months of year 12 online due to hills' policy of alternating online/in person weeks.

but societies make a massive difference to this ! i'd really recommend joining a bunch at first to make friends.

That’s really helpful, thank you! All the societies are definitely one of the reasons I want to go to Hills Road so I’ll be sure to join lots :smile:

Hey there! I know it's a bit later but I am applying to Hills this year too. I know results about offers will come back soon and I wish you luck on your application! I'm studying abroad at the moment so I'm definitely out of zone so I'm really quite nervous to go to any sixth form 🤧

Same, I’ve been at the same school for 8 years now so if I do decide to go to Hills (if I get in!) I’m super nervous since I’m a bit out of practice with going to a new school. But good luck to you too!

Hi Both,
I am out of area do you know when we are likely to find our if we have an offer? They said end of March so I guess anytime in the next week. What was your admissions scores and what would you plan to study? Good luck.

Hey, yes all I heard was by the end of March so I’m hoping for any day now? I think I’ll be doing English Lit, Classics and Politics and my admissions score was 81 I believe - what about you? Wishing you luck too!

Hello, yeah I think all we got was that the results will be back by the end of the month so I’m assuming in the next week or so. For A-level subjects I chose bio chem, physics and maths as a backup. I don’t remember what the score was during my course discussion but if I used my mock grades it’s around 80. I wish you luck with your admission!

I am guessing they will start going out from Monday as it's the last week if term. I was ill during my first mocks so my grades were low. my score was 72 which is frustrating as they have been increased back up to closer to 80 which is why I am worried.

I haven’t got anything either and haven’t heard of anyone who has! But my friend whose brother goes to Hills says that if you meet the criteria and if you get a guidance meeting then you’re basically already in, especially as they accept so many people. I don’t know how true that is but if it is then I wouldn’t be too worried ! Good luck😊

I think so too, or maybe sooner because some schools finish this week. 72 is still far above the minimum admissions score of 58 so I’m sure you’ll be more than alright, and if not I’ve heard you can reapply on results day with your actual grades so you could always get in then?

Yeah I would assume so too. I really don't think 72 is a score you need to worry about, it's above the requirement and I'm pretty certain the school won't be too judgemental over it. Just don't worry too much about it since the results will come back soon and it's like super draining to worry about stuff right now.

Thanks, fingers crossed it's good news for us next week
