What People Are Saying
“Lucy was a huge support for my application to Cambridge and other top universities through the UCAS system. She was very meticulous regarding all aspects of my personal statement, helping me to plan, structure, fine-tune and present relevant information in a way that I would never have imagined possible. In doing so, Lucy obviously helped me to secure a Cambridge interview, despite achieving lower mock grades than typically required. Her advice for this subsequent part of the application process was invaluable. She offered what proved to be extremely valuable Oxbridge interview and Cambridge SAQ guidance. In addition, Lucy very effectively advised on the specific Cambridge entrance exams (BMAT for medicine) which went superbly well!
What makes a top applicant? Curiosity. Ambition. Determination.
