Additionally, 40+ conditional offers and interview invitations were received from top UK universities and interview invitations from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge for courses ranging from Philosophy, Politics & Economics, to Computer Science to Medicine. Canadian applicants secured spots at institutions such as the University of Waterloo and McGill University, while Indian applicants received offers from Krea University. In Europe, admissions were secured at Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam, among others.
Kim Dixit, CEO and Co-founder of The Red Pen, expresses her excitement, saying, “The Summer Programmes Fair began as a single city event in Mumbai. Today, the fair takes place in Mumbai and Delhi. In the coming years, we hope to bring the fair to several other Indian cities as well.”
Namita Mehta, President of The Red Pen, adds, “The Summer Programmes Fair 2024 is your gateway to numerous opportunities that will allow your child to explore their passions, interests, and career prospects based on which they can plan their education. She highlights the importance of early preparation, adding that “US universities scrutinise applicants’ activities from grade 9, making it essential to start early.” Her suggestion: “Participate in enriching and meaningful activities from grade 9 onwards. Your narrative—why you engage in certain activities and how they align with your long-term goals will all eventually play a crucial role in your essays and college application.”
