“In Year 12 I realised it was possible for me to apply to Cambridge with the help of my family and teachers, taking me to open days, reading my personal statement, and helping with the interview preparation. I put in a lot of hard work at Huish and I am so proud of what I have achieved.”
I just wanted to thank Huish for all your help with the application materials as well as for helping me to get on the programme in the first place. In fact, without you mentioning the programme in an Academic Enrich assembly last year, I’d never have even come close to doing anything like this. I cannot thank you enough!
“I took part in the Oxford trip hosted by Huish when I did my application, and it was a great experience to get a taste of Oxbridge life.”
