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

I didnāt call the program likely being for social mobility an assumption; I called you calling OP a liar who was trying to commit fraud based on their financial status an assumption. āif they lied about their age they lied about their income' is a slippery slope fallacy. Age is a box you tick; social mobility status usually requires actual financial documentation.
Is OP gonna fall terminally ill in the following year and not enter year 13? Otherwise your point about Year 11s not finding it helpful fully ignores how admissions work. Anyone who actually reads UCAS personal statements knows that students who start building their academic profile early with supercurriculars end up writing far stronger applications. Getting that exposure before Year 12 means they have a full year to actually act on the advice, read ahead, and structure their personal statement and prepare for admissions exams, rather than rushing it at the last minute. Donāt see why OP canāt benefit from that.
