There’s a really high acceptance rate however a lot of things are taken into account. They don’t mention it however I’ve been told they have stages where people are basically eliminated based on participation so that they know who will have a chance of attending summer school

Honestly someone I know who did it last year did only 56 tasks and missed 92 so just aim to do a reasonable amount. I missed 3 tutorials in the first week and haven’t started maths for this week and still have one question on bio and have 25% on chem so it’s mentally challenging but it’s meant to help and as long as you do it or attempt it the deadline doesn’t matter but obviously it’s good practice.

You should have registered for zoom meetings then on your emails you can join through the link every week or it would be saved on your zoom app

I access them through a zoom link they sent a while ago if you don’t have it you could email someone and I’m sure theyll send you the link

there were three of us doing it from my school.. we went to all the mentoring things but barely did any of the tasks and we all got to go to the residential (which was really fun) - if you have any moderate level of engagement you will probs get a place
