Millfield students excel in recent SAT exam results​

Four Millfield students have scored in the top 10% of students in the country in the latest SAT (US admissions) exam.

Upper Sixth students Jamie White, Lucy Jane Matthews, Stanislaw Chausson and Advait Patodia each achieved a score of at least 1290/1600 in the exam, with Jamie scoring in the top 3% in the country (97th national percentile).

Top scorer Jamie is studying Mathematics, Physics and Economics A levels at Millfield and is hoping to study Mathematics in the US. This year, a record number of Millfield students have applied for Early Action/Early Decisions on their US university applications and will consequently receive their offers in December rather than having to wait until April/ May.

Millfield provides specialist guidance for applications to American universities and employs a Tutor in Charge and an SAT advisor. They ensure candidates get the best possible advice and are guided throughout the process.

Millfield is one of a few SAT centres in the UK which means that students do not need to leave the campus to take their SAT entry exam. In 2020, 23 Millfield leavers and three Old Millfieldians won places at institutions such as Duke, Chicago, Northwestern, UCLA, Virginia and Toronto; nine of them achieved a mixture of academic and sporting scholarships, including swimming, tennis, golf, hockey and football. Further afield, places were also won at universities in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Monaco and Malaysia.
