Its honestly a tough decision, what factors are you weighing up?

for me personally is:

Westminster: bigger reputations, possibly better resources and chances of getting into a better university, more people with a higher background, more competitive, possibly teaches the content for subjects in more depths?, Saturday school
Latymer: distance from my house, no Saturday school, less competitive, more people in different backgrounds, maybe a friendlier environment

this is just what I think personally because to be honest I don't even know much about the two schools

For me Westminster- better at Oxbridge, near central london, choir in abbey, larger year group, able to study 4+, easier to get involved in sports
But- Saturday schools uniform, I’ve heard less good things about students, not all teachers seemed amazing,
Latymer- day school, no uniform, closer to my house, less stressful, shorter days+ no Saturday school, more variation of people, people seem really nice
But- less good at Oxbridge, latymer electives not 4 a levels, join year group in a smaller group

That's pretty much the same as mine, I confirmed Westminster though because I just thought that I'll have better chances at Oxbridge and the school is just a bit fancier

Honestly just need the opportunity to solidify my decision in my head prior to accepting

What did you end up choosing? I had the same decision and ultimately ended up going to latymer because of the better social life and lack of saturday school.
