How has St Andrews prepared you for university?
They have guided me through every step of the process. The university counselors have been there for me anytime I had a question. They have provided me with several resources and workshops in order to me my application the best it can be.
What have you learned from Senior Studies?
A major lesson I have learnt from doing the IB is that I am a lot more capable than I give myself credit for. And of course time management.
Favourite memory from STA?
Playing charades with my friends during lunch times.
Any advice for students going into IB or Year 12s?
Finish all your course work, this includes IA’s, the EE, TOK and CAS in year 12. Also make sure you have good notes throughout IB so that when it comes to exam time you’ll have nothing to worry about and you will be prepared.
This week's Senior Highlight, where we highlight graduates from the Class of 2023, is on Preme.

My university plans for after graduation consist of studying Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE) at the University of Amsterdam. To receive this offer, I had to get through several rounds of admissions such as an essay, a financial and study plan, a test and an interview, which results in only 200 applicants being selected amongst the thousands of applications.
Saturday night’s Graduation of the Class of 2023 was a lovely evening, celebrating the end of their St Andrews journey for 100 Year 13 students, along with their families and their teachers.
