Admissions Guidance

Demystifying university applications

We draw on our experience from within the Oxford system to simplify the university applications process.

We recommend combining the admissions track with a foundational pathway in the subject you wish to study at university. For instance, an applicant to PPE at Oxford might opt for admissions consulting and our Thinking Like a Social Scientist course.

We advise on…

  • We coach you through the important questions:

    • What subjects are you most passionate about? 

    • Who are the experts in your field of interest? Where do they teach? 

    • Which degrees are most employable in an increasingly AI-powered economy? How are these trends evolving?

    • Which assessment methods do different universities use? Which best suit your strengths?

  • We support you in writing an eloquent, clearly structured personal statement or Common App essay that lets you and your passions shine. After initial brainstorming of structure and content, we review multiple drafts and provide detailed feedback.

  • We advise you based on our experience of studying, teaching, and living in different Oxbridge colleges.

    We help you find:

    • The college faculty that aligns with your interests 

    • Acceptance rates across different colleges and courses

    • The social and political culture that’s right for you

  • The Oxbridge application process assesses your thinking skills, rather than your knowledge of content. Our practice interviews are based on real interview questions and conditions. We train you to:

    • Engage critically with ideas

    • Think out loud clearly and confidently 

    • Navigate unfamiliar topics with an open mind

    • Admit errors and show intellectual flexibility 

    Our admissions test training covers:

    • Critical thinking and problem-solving (TSA)

    • Comprehension and argument analysis (LNAT, ELAT)

    • Logical and mathematical reasoning (MAT, PAT, STEP)

    • Unseen translation and linguistic analysis (MLAT, OLAT)

    We provide detailed feedback on practice papers, examples of strong and weak answers, strategies to optimise performance, and time management training.
