I've been accepted onto the residential event for STEM SMART and I'd like some more insight on what I should expect and if I should prepare for anything for the day

I was pretty good. I especially enjoyed the evening dinner at Homerton College. How was it for you, and which college did you stay in, I stayed in Peterhouse.

How was the workload? Was it manageable alongside 3 A levels?

Also does it improve your chances of getting into Cambridge? Or should I do the K+ programme instead

Yes actually. If you go onto Isaac Science, it says that around 4 in 10 applicants to Cambridge that do this programme receive an offer.

Thank you very much, I’m assuming these are later on it the year as I haven’t learnt much AS level content yet.
