Read on to learn how our consultant successfully helped the student gain the confidence they needed to secure a place at university...

Background

In May 2019, William Clarence was contacted by an international student attending a top UK boarding school, as they were beginning to narrow down their choices for university selection.
 
As an exceptionally gifted and talented student, they wanted to study a mechanical engineering degree at a high-ranking institution. Unsure as to which field of engineering they wished to pursue, consultant Rebecca Dowbiggin worked with them to narrow down their choices.
 
Rebecca coordinated a programme of wider reading to support the student when they came to write their personal statement, in addition to completing online interview preparation. Given that the student was to be interviewed by several universities, they also undertook multiple mock interviews.
 
Rebecca provided detailed feedback to the student and offered regular advice on how they could improve. The student gained in confidence through intensive preparation for the more challenging Physics and Mathematics questions and, as a result, found that they felt more equipped not only for their interviews but also for their mock A-Level examinations.
 
Incidentally, in 2020, these became hugely important in determining a student’s final ‘calculated’ A-Level grades as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic prompting school closures.

The results

As a result of Rebecca’s support and their new-found confidence, the student was successful in gaining a place to study a mechanical engineering degree at the highly competitive Imperial College London.
