In doing so\, we will consider questions such as: \n\nWhen should we rely on common sense and when should it be avoided?\nHow do governments use statistics to mislead us?\nDo your parents really know what they’re talking about?\nAnd (perhaps most importantly) can you really trust university rankings?\n\n\nThis event is suitable for: Year 12. \nHow to book a place: *Deadline: Sunday 24 March\, 11:59pm.*\nEligibility: All eligible applicants who meet at least one of the shortlisting criteria specified in points 2 to 6 on the Who we work with webpage will be offered a place on this programme. \nFor further details and how to apply\, please click here. \n\nRecording your attendance on the RO student hub: Please email the UCL RO Team at srs.realisingopportunities@ucl.ac.uk after the event to confirm your attendance.
