Welcome to Week 36 of The Buzz Newsletter!
It’s Week 36 of The Buzz Newsletter! Congratulations to our students who had great success at the Young Economist of the Year Awards. Well done to all our gold medal winners who were shortlisted and attended the final. Special congratulations to Selina Wang who won the overall 5th Year category and to Cindy Wang who won the overall 6th Year category. Well done everyone!
The CAO emailed all applicants their statement of record recently. Please make sure to check that all your details are accurate e.g. Leaving Certificate number, exemptions, and course details. If you have a Leaving Certificate number from a previous year that should also be included. The guidance team will be able to answer any questions you may have in this regard. Students are advised to make any changes to their CAO list by the end of May, using the free change of mind facility. University and College decisions are dues for UCAS entrants by 14th May, for applications that were submitted by 29th January.
