Applying to sixth forms

Hi I am currently year 12 studying at dulwich college. I don’t know where you are applying to or what subjects you are taking, but I would presume you are applying to a good college and have some good subjects or favorite subjects in mind that you want to take. You don't really have to know what you want to do because sixth form teachers will not force you to follow what you said in your application. Once you get in, thats it. You are just another student. So, I suggest that you write a job that is most high paying or looked upon that is known to be derived from your subject choices. For instance, if you are a STEM student with passion in physics and maths, you can just say that you want to be a mechanical engineer or physicist and study that in oxford. Aiming high is never bad as well, so I suggest you just do that. Finally, in terms of achievements, again, I dont know if your are stem based or not, but if you are, UKMT gold, which really easy to get, still counts as achievements, or maybe some essay competitions. If not, just list up what clubs you did in your school (academic preferably) and one or two sports wins or activities in As would be nice.

since you have over a whole 4 months till GCSE, my genuine advice is grind a lot. Trust me, 4 months is enough time to pull all 5s to all 9s. Oxbridge, imperial, ucl, etc. give a lot of extra points for high GCSE grades, I strongly suggest you pull them up to all 9s(all 8s are not good enough as well). For sixthform application, since you are on financial base, I believe you can say your aim is LSE, and build your story. UKMT bronze is still better then nothing so put it in and badminton club should be used as something that gave you some sort of life lesson(eg, taught you how to improve in hard time).
