Thinking of engaging with Crimsons to help my child with profile building & university application 2 years down the line
I am keen to hear your experience of engaging with education counsellors? and do you think it is worth to invest at Sec 3 level to shape up childs portfolio for university application? -

Is your child a strong student? With a good CCA record? If so, then it's probably not so useful. I see you posted on the RGS thread, and if your daughter will be RI, the advisors there are quite good. I'm not saying that you shouldn't pay attention to working on your daughter's portfolio, but I would save money and just do some reading up online for the advice. Some of the things you can prepare now, at sec 3, would be to make sure she puts in decent effort at her academic work, and does more with her CCA to show leadership, good performance, good character, or something strong that will make her stand out. If there will be an interview in her future, then it would be good that she practise thinking independently about a wide range of issues, and be willing to discuss things and \"think on her feet\".

I personally don't believe, beyond doing the above, that polishing a portfolio will make much difference to chances of admission to a top university. They are so swamped with applications from stellar students that even if your daughter is among the best, it's often a case of luck, I feel. Where it may help is if the student is not very strong, and trying to get into a better university that is not very competitive. But if your daughter is not at that level, I don't think it will do much good.
This is my personal opinion. -

Can anyone point to the right direction where I can find info about Medicine Overseas Costs for Uk and Ireland etc? Any experience or informed parents here that can share general estimates of total costs? Thank you.

Approximately 500-600k. It was discussed briefly in the NUS/NTU medicine thread.

Hi,
Do we need a prefect score to apply for Oxbridge? Or Imperial ? Thanks -
I think deep pocket is a far more important consideration than perfect scores. England needs more overseas students now than before.

Are you applying with predicted grades (i.e. currently in JC2), or actual grades (i.e. usually in NS or taking gap year)?

Anyone can apply with any grades, but to stand a chance at admission, you would need near perfect grades (predicted or actual) for the relevant content subjects. GP, PW, MT don't really count for most UK universities. -
I think Oxbridge and other top universities would welcome those with good scores but I’ve seen them admit others who haven’t done quite as well too. In those situations, there were factors which supported the students’ admission including talents, interests and experience in non-academic fields. Much also depends on the degree which the student is pursuing with some being more hotly contested than others. So, the greater the demand, the less the supply.
In short, academic performance is key but it’s not the be all and end all.
