Idk I looked at the criteria and it said you have to be low income or first gen and other stuff. I don't really fit into any of them so idk if it's worth applying. I applied to a y10 icl stem camp and got rejected so idk if theres any point. It looks super good tho wish I could go

Does anyone know if Sutton trust and other summer schools like this make a difference on uni applications?

I got into the sutton trust pathways to consulting programme, and i think its quite useful as they provide u with work experience and help with uni applications, etc. I am not a widening access student either tho, so i think its worth giving it a go, regardless. Im in y12 btw.

I am currently on 9s for all subjects except english lit where i'm on a 6. I am low income, first gen and receive free school meals so I will definitely apply to it when i am in year 12.

i mean if thats the reason youre hesitating, i think you should apply anyways.i got rejected from a work experience, 2 stem programs, and a maths programin the past but now i got into the US sutton program and another very competetive summer program so i think its worth a try anywas.
