October 2024 – RH2023 – University Success Stories

RH23 University Success Stories ðŸŽ‰

We’ve absolutely loved receiving updates from our 2023 students this summer about their university successes.

It’s been another vintage year this year 🥂, with an astonishing 12 Reach Higher students winning places at Oxbridge. And that’s from 15 holding offers!

For context, we had 7 win Oxbridge places from the 2022 cohort and 5 from RH2021.

Helping young people like Ciara (pictured) reach their true potential and fulfil their dream is really what our Reach Higher Programme is all about.

The Reach Higher Programme has helped me in more ways than I could ever describe! Upon enrolling in the Programme, I had little acquaintance with Law as a subject, having never studied it before, nor known anyone who had. However, the lectures provided in the online summer school, and classes provided during my time at Cambridge, presented me with a wealth of immersive experiences and fascinating ideas which allowed me to explore the Law as a concept, rather than just a set of rules: something that can be debated and interpreted in a myriad of different ways, and has evolved throughout time. In particular, the opportunity to participate in a mock trial really opened my eyes to the idea that to understand and apply the law effectively requires more than memory: it is a question of situational, and in some cases, linguistic analysis, as well as the ability to construct and evaluate arguments.

We’re so proud of every single one of our 2023 students, whichever university they progressed to, and we wish them all the very best of luck with their studies and university life 🎓

Stay curious!!!
