“I have always had my sights set on Cambridge. I even moved to London from Ireland where my family live to ensure I had a better chance of getting in. I was part of the debating society, the chess club, maths club and I also played football at college. Being on the college’s Honours Programme has meant that I have had support and access to interview preparation and a wide range of extracurricular activities. These have been extremely useful in securing a place at a highly selective university.”
