Admissions: unlocked
Summary
What really happens inside the admissions process? How do universities assess applications, weigh decisions, and choose between equally strong candidates?
In this much-anticipated session, our expert admissions panel lifts the lid on the journey from application to offer. Through candid discussion, real examples and practical advice, they’ll explore the key questions advisers and students often ask: Is there a winning strategy for ambitious applicants? How much comes down to preparation versus context? And what genuinely gives a candidate a competitive edge?

Whether you’re supporting high-achieving applicants or helping students refine their approach, this session will deepen your understanding of how admissions teams think — and what they value most.
