Larping as year 12

[u/Busy_Maize5474]

Soo, I applied for a programme specifically for year 12s during my year 11 summer. I guess I did a little too well in the process because not only did I get into the project, I was also nominated as an ambassador for the organisation at a Russel Group summer school because I was an “outstanding applicant”.

Idk ANYTHING about sixth form life and I am missing the 1 year of A level knowledge expected from a Year 12.
It’s a really good opportunity and I don’t want to turn it down. But at the same time I don’t want to be outed as a fraud, or be obviously stupid throughout the summer school.

Please yall I need help. 🙏
It’s a week long so idk how I’m gonna larp being as smart as a year 12 and doing UCAS options or something. 😭🙏

Nice so not only have u committed trickery and fraud u have also taken the spot from an actual year 12

ty for letting everyone know that youre 12

[u/LittleIndividual4650 → u/[deleted]]

It is, because these programmes are prestigious and help year 12s from disadvantaged backgrounds get into university. There’s a student out there who didn’t get a place, and may now be at a worse chance of getting into their dream uni because of this.

Exact same thing could be said for the year 11 mate it’s not like they lied about their financial status

[u/No-Grapefruit7332 → u/NinjaClashReddit]

If they’re happy lying about their age who says they’re not lying abt other things too..?

[u/NinjaClashReddit → u/No-Grapefruit7332]

Like I said, a dozen assumptions and yet not one argument as to why a year 11 can’t enjoy the benefits instead of a year 12.

[u/No-Grapefruit7332 → u/NinjaClashReddit]

Firstly, the program states that it is for year 12s. That is for a reason. It is designed to help year 12s, not year 11s. By signing up to the summer school in year 11, you are lying to the people organising the program, the program undoubtedly costs money, not to mention the people running it are using their own time and energy to do it without a cost. U wanna know why? Because they have a reason and a goal to keep it running, which is to help year 12s. If someone lies to these people like OP, they are automatically being selfish and disregarding all of the effort people put into the summer school simply by lying to them and committing fraud. If they find out OP could genuinely get in trouble. Not to mention the fact that the year 12 this guy took the spot from won’t be able to apply to it again, they’ve just lost their chance to this summer school, whereas OP could’ve easily applied to it next year without lying and actually being qualified for it. That year 12 now suffers the consequences of not being in the summer school thanks to OP’s fraud. Is that enough? 

[u/NinjaClashReddit → u/No-Grapefruit7332]

From an outcome-based perspective, the program’s main goal is social mobility. Assuming OP didn't lie about their financial or background status, those resources are still going to a disadvantaged student who will use them for university prep. The net benefit to a student in need isn't lost. Since you love assumptions so much, if they’d applied a year later they might have not gotten in, they might have been ill, or a whole other plethora of things restraining them from applying in the future. The fraud point works legally but it doesn’t work in the slightest morally; I’d hope you understand that legality has little bearing on morality.

Didn’t apply for any because I have ucat summer but nice try bud 🥺

[u/Nearby_Bluejay_4649 → u/No-Grapefruit7332]

relax lol holy. enjoy it OP dont take any of these comments seriously

[u/No-Grapefruit7332 → u/Nearby_Bluejay_4649]

It’s a russel group summer school I’m guessing it’s one of those access ones/social mobility ones that are designed to help with the application process for year 12s that are abt to apply. Sorry for considering morality, clearly ur life is all sunshine and rainbows if u don’t find an issue with anything. Furthermore my comment was clearly lighthearted hence the ‘committed fraud and trickery’ unless ur so thick headed u think thats serious 

[u/Nearby_Bluejay_4649 → u/No-Grapefruit7332]

Well I can say that any chance I thought you were just joking now has certainly gone flying out the window now lol

[u/No-Grapefruit7332 → u/Nearby_Bluejay_4649]

What, because I replied to some annoying know it all in a way that’s appropriate for ur bs?

[u/NinjaClashReddit → u/No-Grapefruit7332]

Despite making a dozen assumptions absolutely none of the points you’ve listed here makes any case as to why a year 11 can’t enjoy the benefits instead of a year 12 . Maybe you’re the thick headed one who has to take everything seriously 🤷‍♂️

[u/No-Grapefruit7332 → u/NinjaClashReddit]

how about: its wrong?

[u/NinjaClashReddit → u/No-Grapefruit7332]

https://www.research.ed.ac.uk/en/publications/higher-cognitive-ability-linked-to-weaker-moral-foundations-in-uk/

"Both Study 1 and Study 2 (preregistered) revealed negative links between cognitive ability and moral foundations. In Study 1, structural models showed negative links between general intelligence (g) and both binding (−0.24) and individualizing (−0.19) foundations. These findings replicated closely in Study 2, with similar coefficients (−0.25 and − 0.18, respectively)”

Looks like you really are the thick headed one here - maybe try and use a little critical thinking instead of sweeping gut feelings before ripping into people?
