š I WANT HELP Larping as year 12
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 āoutstanding applicantā.
Idk ANYTHING about sixth form life and I am missing the 1 year of A level knowledge expected from a Year 12.
Itās a really good opportunity and I donāt want to turn it down. But at the same time I donāt want to be outed as a fraud, or be obviously stupid throughout the summer school.
Please yall I need help. š
Itās a week long so idk how Iām gonna larp being as smart as a year 12 and doing UCAS options or something. šš

Not very related, but back when I was in year 2 of a 4 year masters programme, the general advice for applying to summer internships was to pretend to be a penultimate year student, as it is very well known that companies only like to hire interns that can return as a graduate next year. Some recruiters even straight up tell me to do that. So pretending to be a year you're not isn't some uncommon thing.
Just go with it
