- Prospective applicants drawn to an unconventional admissions premise
- Worth noticing
- The page says applicants need no test scores, fee, or extracurricular essay—just an answer the admissions panel will read itself.
Field notes
The page says applicants need no test scores, application fee, or extracurricular essay, and quotes an admissions panel saying it looks for “unexamined” answers. It also claims 20 subject areas and 100 faculty; a news item names three supposed first admits, while the flagship programme’s fuller description is withheld.
