Why High-Achieving Students Sometimes Fail to Get In To Oxbridge – And How Original Research Proves You Belong

Free webinar

Overview
Every year, hundreds of students with perfect predicted grades and stellar extra-curriculars receive rejection letters from Oxford and Cambridge. If academic excellence alone isn't enough, what is the 'missing ingredient' that admissions tutors are searching for?

In this webinar, our senior consultants will delve into the psychology of the Oxbridge admissions process to explain why top-tier applicants often falter. We'll introduce the concept of 'academic resilience' and demonstrate how engaging in original research is the most effective way to evidence independent critical thinking. Discover how best to conduct your own research project in order to transform your Personal Statement and provide a foundation for discussion points in an Oxbridge interview.
What We'll Cover
  • The 'Straight-A' Trap: Understand why perfect grades are considered the baseline rather than the finish line, and the common pitfalls that high-achievers can encounter during the application journey.
  • The Power of Originality: Discover how conducting your own research project can transform your Personal Statement and provide a foundation for discussion points in an Oxbridge interview.
  • Evidence of Belonging: Learn how to move beyond reading lists to demonstrate the proactive academic curiosity and self-directed study habits that admissions tutors use to identify future scholars.
