We would like to thank our interns; Charlie Hailes, Dorcas Shodeinde, and Zella Baig for the work they did, under challenging deadlines, to produce this report.
A further thanks is also due to all of those who participated in the research itself.
We were fortunate to have interns through the @UniofOxford Crankstart internship programme, who were able to investigate the barriers that disadvantaged young people face when applying to Oxbridge.
We are delighted to be publishing this report today: https://t.co/VivfTRpO5K
We're delighted to end the week on the news that over 100 of our students have been invited to interview at @UniofOxford and @Cambridge_Uni! It has been such a challenging year and our students have persevered through it all, so we are very proud of all of them.
Over 3700 hours of access support has already been delivered this year by our incredible volunteers! 1000 hours more than last year π
Another busy weekend ahead - we have 38 volunteers delivering 1-1 practice interviews and MMIs π¬
