Despite major national disruption, all FHS UCAS applications were submitted long before the January 15^th deadline, which this year has been extended by two weeks. The pandemic has seen a shift in university trends with many more concurrent US applications (10 in all), and some polished corners receiving revised offers following October re-sits (including two Medical offers). This year’s cycle has included 55 UCAS applications of which 98% are currently holding offers. The most popular centre this year was Edinburgh University; the most offers have come from Leeds and Bristol. 13 students applied to Oxbridge – 8 to Oxford and 5 to Cambridge; 10 of the applicants were interviewed. News of offers will come on 12^th of this month from Oxford and 25^th from Cambridge. The current LVI will begin university preparations on Wednesday 17^th March at our Higher Education Evening. As usual, there will be UCAS Day in June, a full day’s activities in preparation for university applications which includes information on Oxbridge, Art Schools, Conservatoires and much more.
