Sixth form applications

What is it like to apply to private sixth forms (bursary only route), preferably to top sixth forms like westminster school, ect? Do they treat the application process slightly differently compared to normal applications or is it the same?
My predicted grades are: 9999999887

Hey, I applied for Eton and St Paul’s bursary route and was offered a fee paying place at Eton ( I didn’t qualify for their bursary standards) and was offered 70 percent at St Pauls. I would say it’s different to state school applications as it’s much more all round and each school has an entrance test ( which are pretty weirdly formatted in my opinion ).

Hey, I’m looking at Eton College for sixth form 2027 (fee paying) I was just wandering what type of stuff comes up on the maths paper and the general paper and what type of questions they ask in the interviews.
