i only applied for 2 got rejected from sutton trust but it was expected i applied to one that was a couple of hours away they actually stated that that was the reason so im gonna apply for the summer school when it opens later idk about oxford uniq dont think my gcses are good enough but im not too pressed i mainly focused on looking for work experience and got one in a hospital around a month ago


Omg work experience hospitals are annoying me so much I’ve applied to like 20 all of them saying sorry no. Like I’m acc being put off going into medicine and might do maths but I hope we both get some bc it’s sooooooo annoying
