Oxbridge and US University Success

Five Oakham School Year 13 students have received early offers to study at some of the most prestigious universities in the UK and the US following a successful application process.

Evie has received an offer to study French at the University of Oxford, and Katie and Lena have received offers to study Classics and Geography respectively at the University of Cambridge. Meanwhile Salome and Leo have received ‘early decisions’ offers to study at two highly competitive US universities: Salome has secured a place at the University of Pennsylvania, and Leo has received an offer to study at Northeastern University.

Oakham School’s Careers team provided specialist support to help the students prepare their applications. This included regular meetings to discuss their applications, support with any specialist tests, including SATs, feedback on essays, and participating in multiple practice interviews.

Evie said: “I have always loved a challenge, so my motto throughout the admissions process was ‘if you don’t try, you’ll never know’!”
