Sutton Trust US Programme Cohort 12 (2023) Applicants Thread

I got in

Congratulations - are they doing the USA residential this year?

Ohh okay that makes more sense, were you allowed to choose which week you went on?

deffo a bit bummed out about it but it is what it is

I got in

tbh I am so so devastated and I probably won't be able to apply anymore with the costs for the tests and everything 😭

i didn't get in but also looking at the analytics of my video interview on youtube it looks like it only has one unique viewer (me) which would imply that it was never watched so maybe there was something really bad that I just didn't consider about my app lol

i had 10 9s at gcse for the person who asked about those

fr low-key annoyed wish i knew what i did wrong because i did sm extracurriculars and volunteering aswell

Are you still going to apply? I'm trying to convince myself now that the UK is better anyway 🙃
(I also had all 9s but I had some good extracurriculars as well)

Anyone watching this thread get in?

did you get in

wow ur grades r so good but maybe the writing lacked what they wanted?

I actually thought my writing was quite good for once but I'm literally the worst judge of how I've ever done at anything so probably - tbh I wasn't sure if I was actually eligible since my family is technically over the income requirement but I have a twin who applied at the same time (and I'm care experienced) so I thought I might as well try but I was really pushing it from the start lol and my ECs probably aren't great

i had fun writing the essays though and I think I'll still apply to the US (probably test optional though) so hopefully it doesn't set me back too much

Hi
I got onto the programme but it doesn’t say for sure that the trip to us is happening does it mean that there might not be a trip to the us

what does test optional mean

For me in the email it said that it would be happening and we’d know which week we’d be assigned to in May
