what to think about if you're in y13

The deadline for applications to Oxbridge, medicine, dentistry and veterinary science courses is October 15th, so, get a shift on if you’ve not got your application in already! If Oxbridge isn’t your bag you can check other upcoming deadlines or application requirements click here to click here to go to the UCAS website.

If you're feeling relieved your deadline isn’t for a while, then, sorry. That train is heading down the track like it’s jet powered.

The deadline for other uni applications for 2020 is January, but we strongly suggest you don’t wait till then. Use half term as your opportunity to get that sucker done and duster. To help with the dusting, have a look at our personal statement blog with a check list and our top tips to make your personal statement stand out and cut straight to the good stuff — just what the admissions team are looking for.

If you've decided that you're not going down the uni route then congratulations. Seriously.
