    Hiii Lucy! I’m currently studying in Westminster and going to be in yr13 in September. It was very brave of you to not to take the offer and actually know what you want. Also thank you for making this video because when I applied there were barely any information on the internet and I was really stressed. All best for ur alevels. Also if anyone have any question about Westminster u are welcome to ask me.

    Hi Lucy!!! I will be applying for Westminster School for 16+ in a few years and there are a few concerns I have and I know you are the perfect person ask.
    1) I'm an international student, and I have been studying at an international school every since kindergarten (basically a school that teaches English in a foreign country). My concern is that it follows the American style of teaching which is different than the British style, this also affected my accent and writing style . I was wondering if this would affect my chances of getting accepted.
    2) I was also wondering if extra talents and skills (as in playing an instrument, doing a sport, etc) would be beneficial when applying for Westminster. One thing I read from the 16+ requirements on the Westminster School website is having an interview with the school if chosen to. I was hoping you would know what to say.
    Thank you Lucy! I'm glad to havs an amazing role model like you!❤️❤️❤️
    Have an amazing day!!

Your advice was really helpful alongside the advice I got from Student Room!

But anyways, thank you soooooo much!! 🤩🤎

    Firstly, nice video, thank you for sharing your valuable experience! With respect, can I ask your academic grades when you enter Westminster school. Like how many 9 did you get when you were applying to the Westminster school etc. I know it’s a very personal question. But I want to do the entrance exam this year. It makes me so nervous as I only got 5A out of 7 subjects. (3A+)

    • @LucyWangYuxin
      @LucyWangYuxin  3 года назад +3

      Thanks!! Of course, I can’t really remember the exact grades that I had but I believe the report had a mix of 9s and 8s but please please don’t let the grades throw you off! From my understanding, as long as you perform well in their entrance exams and interview, they won’t really care. I really hope that you do the entrance exam and please do ask if you have any other questions :)
