ACG Senior College student offered place at Cambridge University, UK
21 January 2016, Auckland. The day of results is always nerve racking. To find out not only your results but also the outcome of your application
to your dream university in one day, was off the chart exciting for ACG Senior College student, Angela Chan.
When the Cambridge International Examination results came out last week, Angela found out that she had gained straight
A* and As, for her six 2015 IGCSE and at Advanced Level subjects. All results were impressively over 90 per cent.
“It was really exciting. I got my CIE results, which I was really pleased with and then late that night I had an email
from Cambridge University in England offering me a place to study law. I was so excited I woke up my parents and rang my
friends immediately!”
Angela has excelled academically at ACG Senior College and across all her IGCSE results since 2013, she has received
grades 90 per cent or above, receiving Top in the World AS Business Studies whilst in Year 11, 2013 and Top in New
Zealand A Level Business Studies whilst in Year 12, 2014. Angela Chan was awarded the Principal’s Cup in 2015 as the top
scholar at ACG Senior College. She was also the Academic Student Leader of the college.
Associate Principal, ACG Senior College, Graham Gottard says, “I’d estimate these results coupled with her offer to
study law at Cambridge would put her in the top one per cent of students world wide. She is a genuine academic with an
impressive intellect and an unassuming manner. With a strong work ethic she is an exceptional young woman.”
The results are a culmination of intelligence and a lot of hard work, support from teachers and her peers. Angela
describes Senior College as having a continuous culture of learning that always feeds back into itself. She explains the
harder your work in this environment, the more you get out of it from both peer learning and support from your teachers.
While Angela is waiting patiently for the official letter from Cambridge University, she plans to accept this
extraordinary offer and is looking at working until October when the first semester will begin. She’s already looking at
what the papers will be and what introductory reading she can get under her belt so she’s 100 per cent ready for
everything Cambridge University has to offer her.
