My Zero Gravity Experience
My mentor Tom was so integral in shaping my application to Imperial and Oxford. His weekly calls that he did with me were extremely helpful in redrafting my personal statement, and giving me the confidence to put forward a carefully crafted competitive application to these respective universities. While I did not get into Oxford, his support was pivotal in securing a place at Imperial, and he gave me the support I needed to smash the Imperial interview, which he had done many years ago. WIthout Zero Gravity, I would not have developed the confidence and subject expertise to put forward such a well crafted application as a first generation student. I have learned such life changing advice, resilience and dedication from my calls with my mentor that I'm sure have equipped me for the world of work later on.
Amazing experience!
I’ve had an incredible experience with Zero Gravity and am so thankful to the platform for providing me with so many opportunities. I was given a mentor from my favourite university studying my dream course-medicine. My mentor helped organise my ideas for my personal statement into a clear format and provided constructive feedback on my drafts. I also attended some masterclasses on writing personal statements which helped when constructing my own. What I found most useful was the interview preparation with my mentor which enabled me to build my confidence in expressing myself as well as helping me with the structure of my answers. Also, my mentor was able to advise in choosing my accommodation, after having made my firm choice, and this really made me feel less anxious about the process which originally, I was daunted by. I especially love the amazing student community where I can read and learn from other like-minded people’s questions on the forums.
Very positive experience!
I have been part of the Zero Gravity community since Year 12, and it has equipped me with knowledge which has been helpful for university applications and beyond. During the Summer after Year 12, the Personal Statement programme and access to AI Coach increased my confidence in writing my personal statement, which contributed to my university offers. My mentor is amazing and is always happy to have calls. His personal statement and critical thinking support helped me receive four offers. Zero Gravity has also helped me with careers, I was able to secure summer work experience in finance, and the Zero Gravity webinar definitely helped me learn more about the bank and the application process. The Zero Gravity team has always been knowledgable and responsive whenever I had questions. Overall, my experience with Zero Gravity has been incredibly positive, and I am excited to give back by becoming a mentor when I go to University.

Zero Gravity is an awesome platform - PLEASE USE IT!!!
Zero Gravity is an awesome platform. I was fortunate to know what I wanted to study at university, but my mentor's support and encouragement made my choice even easier. She provided invaluable guidance and support in writing my personal statement, which was really challenging for me and required a lot of effort. In the end, it paid off, as I got accepted into prestigious universities such as KCL, City University of London, and Queen Mary University of London for Business Management. My mentor wasn't just a mentor but also a friend who was incredibly kind. She was only a year older than me and in her first year of university, which made her more relatable and helped me envision what university life would be like. The regular meetings on topics such as writing personal statements and completing milestones made my journey easier by giving me the structure I needed to reach my desired destination. University may not be for everyone, but it definitely is for me.
Starting zero gravity in beginning of…
Starting zero gravity in beginning of year 13 has helped me remove many misconceptions regarding such a complex and important year. Thanks to my mentor, she assisted me throughout, always giving me tailored advice regarding my university applications, yet also assisted me with my alevel subjects. When I received some rejections from unis- my mentor discussed with various plans and routes to take- and this aided me to not fixate at a rejection and move on. Conversely my teachers in school weren’t equipped enough to give me such level of detail as my mentor did. Especially my mentor was only a year older than me- she really focused on giving me advice that she would have desired to receive when she was in my position. I aspire to become a mentor when I start my university course, as many a-level students often struggle during their journey. I personally found it comforting discussing my worries with my mentor- and it definitely uplifted my mood. It was an amazing experience, and my only regrets is that I didn’t find out about such platform earlier in year 12.
My Experience on Zero Gravity
My name is Daan and I am an autistic student who is the first to go to university in my family as well as breaking the stigma of 'autistic kids cannot go to university'. In my spare time, I like to play Badminton and go on hikes! My experience with Zero Gravity has been amazing since I first joined as I was recommended Zero Gravity by one of my teachers. I have met a very nice community willing to help with any questions that I had. My mentor has been very supportive throughout my application journey into Biomed and got into all 5 unis! I have learned so much from him throughout this process such as finding ways to develop skills in supercurriculars and extracurriculars within my subject field and how I applied this during my application. He was very willing to answer any questions I had too even if I did not understand at first, he clearly explained things again and helped me understand.

provided me with a lovely, useful and honest mentor, who always gave me great advice on university and exams 🙂
A game changer for young people
The support and guidance from Zero Gravity and my mentor have been instrumental in my journey, from the university masterclasses to the tips and tricks on making a competitive application. The real cheat code was the mentoring. My mentor gave me so much invaluable time and advice which helped instil a lot of self-belief that I never knew I had. He helped me so much throughout the interview period, organising multiple mock interviews, and asking me questions that I found to be similar to what I was asked at the interviews. I feel so privileged that I was given this opportunity, without it, I would've been lost and wouldn't have applied to any of the top universities that eventually gave me offers. Zero gravity has been amazing, the community is positive and everyone motivates each other to always strive to be the best.
