So you want to impress the universities?

"How can Pathways help me to get into university?

Departments of philosophy are keen to recruit students who have pursued independent study of the subject. However, they will naturally prefer those who can offer hard evidence of their ability and potential. All Pathways students receive a report from the Director of Studies on completing their program which can be used to support their application for an undergraduate or postgraduate degree course. Students can also request a confidential reference in support of university applications."

Here you will find files for download. These files may be freely distributed on condition that the format or contents are not altered in any way.

The files are in Adobe Acrobat PDF, which can be read and printed out by both PC and Macintosh computers. The Adobe Acrobat reader can be obtained free from the Adobe web site at http://www.adobe.com. The URL for the download page is http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/readermain.html.

Before they can be opened, the files will need to be de-compressed. A program that will do this is Stuffit Expander, which can be obtained free from the Aladdin Systems web site at http://www.aladdinsys.com. Go to http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/ and click on the link for either PC or Mac.

Oxford University

~ Last year, just 23% of candidates were accepted by Oxford.
97.5% had three A’s at A-level ~

This might be a wise investment (in the context of £20,000)
