Loughborough’s ingenious new acceptance letters, in the form of golden tickets
Congratulations to all those accepted!
Gabriella WatsonThis morning thousands of A-level students have been collecting their results, be them good or bad (we hope good), but few have been lucky enough to receive a golden ticket through the post. This year, Loughborough have sent their acceptance letters in the form of a golden ticket.
Carlos, a lucky recipient of a ticket said:
“I felt surprised, I wasn’t expecting it. I felt like I was in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and just found a golden ticket.”
Callum, another future student, said:
“I was over the moon. Didn’t know what to do with myself, I was overwhelmed! It’s the best feeling when hard work pays off.”
Just another way to make us all feel loved. Welcome to loogabarooga.
