[SSC] Student selection notes

[Richard Hall]

Hi Joss,

Thanks for your collective work on this. It is appreciated.

1. On the selection process, where we state "Group meeting to narrow down to smaller number", I assume this might alter year-on-year, as we increase from 20 students. Do we have criteria in case we get 21 and have to make that awkward decision? How do we ensue that we don't just take the 4 A-grade, A-level student over the student with alternative experience?

2. In terms of the interview, why give them an unseen text? Why not email it/multiples through so it is seen? I'm not sure what we get by making this unseen.

3. Good question about an application form. Do we want an application statement, rather than a form?

4. What do we mean by social engagement? How will we judge what is good enough?

5. Why are academic qualifications important? Can we add "or equivalent"? Otherwise we risk being seen as selective and not community-engaged.

Best wishes,

Richard.

We'll work them up into a more coherent statement following today's meeting.
