Zero Gravity Omdömen 

It opened many opportunities for me, such as scholarships and placements for the summer. Furthermore my mentor has been really helpful when it came to everything, whether it was helping me decide what university to pick, to dissect course details and interview preparation.

I relocated to the UK in 2021 to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer. Through dedicated efforts, I obtained GCSEs in Maths and English to strengthen my university application. Believing in the transformative power of education, I advocate for accessible learning opportunities and support welfare courses that drive community progress.

Discovering Zero Gravity on LinkedIn was a pivotal moment in my journey. The invaluable support, from writing a compelling personal statement to engaging in enriching masterclasses and community resources, guided me through an unfamiliar path. My mentor, Maya B, played a crucial role in my success by providing insightful guidance on personal statement structuring and university selection. Maya's encouragement and advice empowered me to choose institutions not requiring the LNAT, enhancing my application strategy.

With Zero Gravity's support, my university application journey was transformed, setting me on a path towards realizing my ambitions as a future barrister.

When I started my A-Levels, I had a deep passion for politics but thought I had nothing valuable to offer the field. Winning the 2023 Gresham College Oracy Competition (on Climate Change and the Environment) made me realize my voice mattered, and I wanted to dedicate my life to solving global issues. I decided to "Go big or go home" and aimed for HSPS at Cambridge. Around this time, I signed up for Zero Gravity and was paired with my amazing mentor, who boosted my confidence throughout the extensive and sometimes overwhelming admissions process. As a black girl from a lower-class background, I faced additional concerns that Zia helped me navigate. Practically, she assisted in perfecting my personal statement, honing my essay-writing skills for the admissions assessment, and preparing for my interview. The other resources on the Zero Gravity website, particularly the webinars and community discussions, were also invaluable. It’s thanks only to Zero Gravity I was able to secure a Cambridge offer! 😇

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.

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 at a bank, and the Zero Gravity webinar definitely helped me learn more about the bank and the application process. Whenever I have had a question the Zero Gravity team has always been so knowledgeable and responsive which I really appreciate. 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.

My mentor has allowed me to develop a multitude of skills. These have benefited me in developing my personal statement to developing my skills when it comes to talking in interviews.

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 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 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 🙂

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.

Zero gravity is helpful and helped me with my university process and application

I am a dedicated, aspirational student who is continually seeking for ways to improve myself and broaden my knowledge by learning from others. Zero Gravity has been an essential catalyst in my progress. The programme has given me significant assistance and possibilities, helping me to achieve new heights in my academic and professional pursuits. For example, I especially appreciated the masterclass feature because it covered a variety of topics and provided really insightful information that I could use to strategically apply to institutions that were most relevant to me and construct a well-rounded personal statement. In addition, my mentor has been extremely helpful throughout this journey, providing me with ongoing direction and support. They helped me manage challenging problems, such as difficult exam questions, and gain confidence in my talents. Zero Gravity and their mentorship has inspired me to pursue my goals with renewed passion and determination.

Zero gravity were friendly and supportive and offered a wide range of lectures and support features that made it really easy to access advice about applying for my course.

Zero Gravity is a great platform and community for college students! There is a community where we can all share our questions and university students help us out! There also lots of resources such as webinars and having a mentor which is really good for 1:1 support.

Great platform that paired me up with a lovely mentor, who helped me prepare for a university interview and proof read my personal statement. The interface is easy to use and I’ve never had a problem with calling my mentor. The communities feel kind and an encouraging with a good amount of anonymity. Would definitely recommend if you go to a state school, as this platform has definitely provided more guidance and support in applying to university than many schools are able to.

Zero Gravity was my catalyst, transforming my academic journey from a state school student with modest dreams to an Oxford-bound scholar. The platform’s mentorship program was instrumental in my success. My mentor's sessions were highly engaging, making complex topics accessible and interesting. Her ability to explain concepts clearly and conduct mock interviews greatly helped me.

With my mentor's guidance, I received offers from prestigious universities including Oxford, UCL, Bristol, and Warwick. Her support was pivotal in my academic achievements. Before Zero Gravity, I never dreamed of Oxford, but now I will be studying my dream degree at one of the best institutions. This platform breaks boundaries and has given me opportunities I never thought possible. I am incredibly grateful for Zero Gravity and the remarkable impact it has had on my life. I couldn't have achieved this without this platform's support.

Zero Gravity is brilliant, I cannot recommend it enough! I was paired with a brilliant mentor who is a current student at the university where I want to study. She gave me so much helpful advice about personal statements and applying, helping me to practise for interviews. The masterclasses were a great way to get expert advice from university students, admissions tutors and more. Having access to the Zero Gravity community was also brilliant because I benefitted from advice from current students and connecting with other people also applying.

I first engaged with Zero Gravity halfway through Year 12 and since then it has provided me with lots of information in regards to university. My mentor has helped me immensely in terms of preparing for the LNAT with regular feedback on essays. She has also supported me with revision advice for my A level subjects along with regular detailed feedback on any essays I had for English Lit, she has been nothing but supportive and kind. Overall, this platform has been a great learning and social experience, the community section has helped me discover opportunities to develop myself.
