A comprehensive ‘Medical Dentistry Veterinary Science’ programme is run in College to support applicants in these areas. 32 offers were received in these areas (Medicine 27, Dentistry 2, Veterinary Science 3).
Girls apply for a huge range of subjects. Each is supported in making their application by their tutor, a subject-specific mentor, the US University Adviser (if relevant), the Head of Sixth Form College and the Professional Guidance Centre team. This year successful applications have been made across all faculty areas, for subjects as varied as Arabic, Animation, Engineering, Law, Music, Physics with Astrophysics, Primary teaching, Theology and much more.
This year girls applying to the US have received excellent offers from universities including Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth and UPenn. In the last three years, girls have received 17 offers from all eight Ivy League universities, in addition to such universities as Stanford, MIT, Johns Hopkins, University of California Berkeley, Georgetown, UCLA, University of Chicago, Georgia Tech, Cornell, Duke and NYU. Girls regularly receive scholarship offers.
2012 applicants have also received offers from Chinese University Hong Kong, Hong Kong University, McGill, the University of British Columbia and Trinity College, Dublin and girls are given the same support for these as is received for UCAS applications.
