Reimi Konda

Jeonghoon Kang

Nationality: Japanese
Campus:
CATS College Cambridge
Studying:
Medics Programme, Fast track A levels achieved A*A*A*A*, IELTS 8.5
Destination:
University of Cambridge to read Veterinary Medicine

"On the Medics programme I learnt not just the facts, but also the ability to analyse and confidently justify and explain my answers. It has been really helpful, I was able to get support with writing my personal statement, setting up work experience with a local Vet and help with my interview technique. I’ve had to work really hard this year but now I have my place I can relax a bit! Without this Programme I doubt I would have achieved my place at Cambridge."

Altyn Sincheva

Nationality: HK Chinese
Campus: CATS College Cambridge
Studied: Fast track A level achieved A*, A, A, IELTS 7.0 
Destination: University of Warwick to read Economics

“It wasn’t just the knowledge I learnt, but the way to analyse and get full marks on each question. Even if I was not in the class, teachers would still support me sending e-mails, talking directly or giving papers to mark. It was a really tough year studying fast-track A-level so I really appreciate the support from the teachers which ensured I didn’t waste time. Without the support from the college, I don’t think I would achieved a place at one of the top universities.”

Destination: Imperial College London to read Biomedical Engineering

“I wanted to study abroad and achieve entry to a top university so decided to come to the UK. I chose CATS College Cambridge because I wanted to feel the atmosphere of studying in one of the world’s most academic cities and CATS College is next to many Cambridge University Colleges. The medics programme has opened my eyes to what is required at Medical school and deepened by knowledge. The programme has helped me achieve my goal!”
