For many families, Harvard represents the pinnacle of higher education. Yet with an acceptance rate of just over 4%, outstanding grades alone are no longer enough to secure a place.
The reality is that the strongest applicants have often been building their profile for years through academic rigour, sustained extracurricular commitment, intellectual curiosity and a compelling personal narrative.
In our latest insight, we explore what Harvard itself says about admissions, why so many exceptional candidates are unsuccessful, and what students can do to strengthen their applications long before they submit them.

"The reputations of individuals and companies have never been more threatened." - @RobbieRinder
Misinformation and disinformation are nothing new.
But declining trust in mainstream media, the enduring influence of social media, and the rising power of LLMs has led to exponential growth in their capacity to harm the reputations, and jeopardise the privacy, of high-profile individuals and their families.

"Have we been complacent about the Golden Goose of London?"
A resounding YES from @realVickyPryce, @TiceRichard, and John Mulryan (Ballymore) when asked this question by @AlecMarsh.
All three lament overregulation and the rising costs of compliance.
Richard Tice says we should look to Dubai for "Vision, ambition, and a can-do attitude".
Vicky Pryce maintains that London's cultural and financial ecosystem is unrivalled.
This chimes with earlier remarks from Sam Copley (Peleh Advisors) that London, more specifically Mayfair, and more specifically Berkeley Square, is THE place to be.
This is why Think Tutors are proud to have physical offices in the UK (Berkeley Square), Hong Kong, and the U.A.E.
Dazzling panel on what drives the modern luxury consumer.
Hyper-personalisation, experience, and scarcity are all important.
Birkin bags, private members clubs, and Swiss watches were all discussed.
But what is at the pinnacle of luxury?
Relationships.

Securing a place at Westminster Under at 7+ isn’t just about strong academics - it’s about demonstrating curiosity, reasoning, and real potential.
With limited places and a rigorous assessment process across English, Maths, and reasoning, competition is intense, and the difference often lies in how well a child is prepared to think, not just what they know.
If you’re considering 7+ entry, our latest insight breaks down exactly what the school is looking for, and how to give your child the best possible start.
