- 8. Higher Education Information Ratcliffe College A concern ? • “I’ve heard that it is more difficult to get a place at a good university if the student is at an independent school”
- 9. Higher Education Information Ratcliffe College A reassurance ! • In hugely oversubscribed subjects, it is nothing new for even outstanding candidates to receive very few offers, or even none, if they try exclusively for highly selective universities • Overall, HMC has no evidence to suggest that our schools as a whole are suffering disproportionately.
- 10. Higher Education Information Ratcliffe College An uncomfortable truth • Many courses in strategically important and vulnerable subjects – including the sciences, engineering, languages and economics – remain heavily reliant on independent school candidates for their survival.

Notas do Editor
- Thank Andy H.Ed. Applications are managed in different ways by different schools & colleges. If asked to summarise R.C. priorities: groups and individual support / start & complete applications early. Also a brief overview of financial arrangements relating to H.Ed.
- Several sensible options for students after A’levels. Foundation degrees – If wrong A’ level subjects for degree / if A’ level grades too low for degree. F.E. – e.g. Art Foundation course – usually at a local College or university. Typically, at Rcoll, ~90% ucas degree application
- H.Ed. Subject interests – if you know them, e.g. for enjoyment: English – reading of different genres History – Watch time team regularly Vet Sci – Volunteer at local pet shop, vet’s or farm? Politics / Business / Economics – Read newspapers or on-line news Also, further chances for W.Exp. in Y12 Not tick box exercises – Need to reflect on experiences – learn from them / develop views & awareness
- 1st term to settle in / adapt to requirements of AS study. *** Booklet *** Then it’s time to plan what comes after Y13
- OxB, Med, Vet, Dent – Deadline end of Sept Aim of early application = early offers = early motivation. Also: focus on A2 work. Deadline for CF/CI = early May. We advise Y13 – wait for Jan exam results & update predicted grades (mid March.) A’level results – CF or CI – or clearing = marketplace. Much staff support to help (usually very few) students through clearing.
