I've joined a schools mentoring programme.
The student I've been paired with is thinking Cambridge for Nat Sci and is leaning to physics. State school, non-selective.
She has A* and A at GCSE (about fifty million of them) but is finding AS harder, currently averaging A/B borders.
Firstly, I'd like to help her with Cambridge. Private tuition is not an option financially. I can help her academically to a point, in Maths and Physics only though. Can't help with Chemistry. But I'm going to stress that it's not an impossibility if she knuckles down. I can't help that much with the actual process, I can proof read her application, but I have no experience of this at all. School can help, and have sent others in the past.
But where else is good to apply? She can only think of Warwick and I can only suggest Manchester. I chose my university based on football and bands and distance from parents.
I fear she's a bit clueless and is relying on the school for all the information.
