Zero Gravity made a huge difference to my Sixth Form experience. The masterclasses in particular were very helpful in showing what universities were looking for and their replayability allowed me to curate my ZG to my own needs. The most impactful part of my ZG experience is definitely my mentor, from coaching me through the admissions tests (which was incredibly useful, as applying to Oxford meant I had to do tests which are fairly niche, meaning this was support I could not have found otherwise) through to interviews (while my school also gave me mock interviews they were far from as close to the real deal as my mentor’s). Having a current Oxford student assure me I was capable of earning a place was also incredibly central to my journey - making me much more self-confident! The partnership ZG facilitated between myself and my mentor allowed me to realise my dream.

My journey with Zero Gravity has been incredibly transformative. My mentor, a CS student at Durham University, has been instrumental in this journey, offering personalized guidance, insightful advice, and continuous encouragement. Through regular sessions, they've helped me refine my study techniques, navigate challenging subjects, and explore potential career paths in computer science. Their real-world experience and unwavering support have not only boosted my confidence but also inspired me to aim higher and dream bigger. Zero Gravity has been a pivotal part of my educational journey, equipping me with the skills and mindset needed to excel and make a meaningful impact in the future.

I have got a conditional Oxford offer to do PPE having taken Maths, Politics & French A-Levels. I’m from Luton, a town not traditionally associated with such unis. My mentor was incredibly helpful! She’s provided me with advice on the TSA admissions test as well as more broadly how to choose universities, and has also given me economics-specific mock interviews, my weakest PPE area. She was very dedicated and gave me really detailed advice on improving my personal statement. ZG generally has been really useful, especially the masterclasses on personal statements and the 'Inside Scoop' ones about universities, which helped shape my choices. I've loved the community section as it showed I was not alone in dealing with the problems of a student. Finally, as a ZG student, I have agreed to be filmed opening & talking about my results on A-Level results day at college, which is a great opportunity.

This platform helped me quite a lot with my university application. Having access to a mentor is something I’m grateful for as I was able to get help from someone who has completed the process before me.

It has been nearly a year since I have used Zero Gravity and it has been an absolute blast with my mentor. I wouldn't be where I am without this program, considering I am starting university this Sep 2024!

As I am the first person to do medicine in my family and come from a working class background, I found it very difficult to navigate through the medicine application process. However, since joining Zero Gravity, I found a community of like-minded people going through the same experiences as me. So much support was made easily available to me: from the masterclasses to the various spaces to I was able to talk on. I was given the opportunity to research into my desired career and find advice that I would have struggled to find elsewhere. Getting matched with my mentor was what boosted my medicine application the most. Throughout year 13, my mentor gave me so much constructive criticism and guidance, helping me to slowly develop the confidence and skills that are necessary for medicine.

I was devastated when I got rejected for medical school in y13 despite giving it my all. My teachers told me not to apply, saying it was unrealistic for state school kids, but I was determined to prove them wrong. Battling mental health issues made it tempting to give up, yet I pushed myself, revising for hours and learning about the application process all on my own. Unfortunately, I didn’t score highly in my UCAT/BMAT, and my A-levels weren’t “med school worthy.” On results day, I was pressured to choose a different career, but still wanted to pursue medicine. I decided to resit A-level chem, retake the UCAT, and redo my personal statement with help from my mentor. Her guidance opened my eyes to useful tips on uni, medicine, and interviews. I couldn’t have done it without her. Now, I have an offer for Medicine with foundation year!

My experience with Zero Gravity has been extremely positive, it is a great platform that has helped me immensely through the masterclasses which enabled me to get a better insight into different universities and which one would be best for me, as well as the amazing personal statement workshop which was no doubt intrinsic to my success. My mentor has also been extremely amazing, helping me with every aspect of the application process, from months before even applying in which we just talked about the law, so I get a more solid interest and wider knowledge to spending hours working through LNAT questions with me and marking any essays I wrote and doing countless mock interviews and asking some of his friends to do them too so I get a wider perspective from different people.

The flexibility, the friendly and high-quality mentors! It was a brilliant experience.

I'm from a first-generation immigrant family and the first to attend university. I aim to study law and pursue a career in commercial/corporate law. But when it came to applying to universities, I felt so lost. I was unsure about the process or what made a strong application to law school. Zero gravity really helped break down the process through its use of goals and the different channels in which I could find answers to questions other applicants would ask. My mentor, Florian, has always been available to answer any questions I have and supported me fully throughout my application, e.g: writing my personal statement or preparing for interviews. I’m certain that I wouldn’t have gained an offer from a top law school such as UCL without the support of my mentor and the resources provided by zero gravity.
