2025 International ACAC Conference Sessions

Everything You Wanted to Know About UK Admissions but Were Too Polite to Ask

Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at 11:00 AM–12:15 PM EDT
CH 101
Session Description

Did you ever wonder what happens after your applicant presses the submit button? Does anyone actually read the personal statements? Which IB entry requirements are more (or less) flexible than they appear? And what really constitutes a ‘near miss’ candidate? In this webinar, we will be sharing our research from a comprehensive 2023 survey of 60 UK admissions staff to gain a deeper understanding of how offers are made with a particular focus towards IB international applicants. Join us on the wonderful journey of a UCAS application answering all those questions you were too polite to ask.
