Admissions Process
After you visit, you may well have made a decision. If this is the case you will
start the Admissions Process. You will probably receive the relevant documentation
from the school via post or at your first visit. If you have chosen one of the
schools hand picked for you via Emetis, the school will be aware of all your relevant
details and they will be able to advise on any extra information needed to complete
this process. This is also the time to discuss any special arrangements or services
you require from the school.
