Bolton School provides excellent advice to you on how
to successfully apply and be accepted at the HE institution of
your choice. Here Old Boys reflect on the help they were
given:
Vinay Anicatt
"Hi, my name is Vinay Anicatt and I am at the very beginning of
my Philosophy, Politics and Economics course at Wadham College,
Oxford University.
The way Bolton School handles a complex and demanding university
applications procedure is remarkable, especially considering how
meticulously we're taken through it. The help I received didn't
stop at the drafting of my personal statement - I was patiently
guided through every personal niggling issue. There were invaluable
trips to university-organised talks and information sessions,
reading material was recommended and we even had weekly forums
where we could present topics of interest and then be scrutinised
on them. I felt thoroughly prepared by the time I clicked 'submit
application' and am extremely grateful to our experienced teachers
for their collective efforts, once again!"
Thomas Harrison
"I am currently in my third year at St Edmund Hall, Oxford
University where I am reading Earth Sciences. Bolton School was
instrumental in guiding me through the whole application process,
providing help with my personal statement and interview techniques.
The teaching staff went above and beyond the curriculum, passing on
the benefit of their experience and knowledge. I could not have
been better prepared for the rigour of the Oxford interview
process. It goes without saying that I thoroughly enjoyed my time
at Bolton School. My advice would be to make the most of your
teachers and to listen to what they have to say."
