How to get into Eton.

[@historyhardy5529]

As usual a very interesting video. It really is a window into another world. Canada has some wonderful independent schools but nothing like Eton. We chose to send our daughter to a Catholic independent school here in Vancouver although we are an Anglican family. She has told me she really enjoyed the experience.

[@Canuck13]

@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections Appleby College in Oakville just outside of Toronto may be even a closer match to Eton. I believe that Upper Canada College has or had a requirement that one must be from a military-based family in order to apply. However that may not now be the case.

[@Canuck13]

@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections It is quite exclusive and modeled on the British system.

Adore the smart Anglo Mick accent …….😂

[@Maria-fm5nw]

Interesting listening. So your accent is an Eton accent? In what way would you say your accent has changed during Eton years and what kind of accent did you speak before attending prep schools and Eton?

[@spunkletonspermaticus2415]

You can't differentiate an Etonian accent. ... At 13 their accents are partially set, and different. They mostly end up with a fairly affluent-sounding RP. But it isn't different from the accent of a boy from Winchester, Harrow, or Charterhouse.

[@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections]

My accent scarcely changed at all. My accent is typical for a boy who went there. Some are posher and others less so.

[@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections]

@@spunkletonspermaticus2415 Correct

Very interesting video. Note 80% would drop at the Common Pre-Test. Any interview tips?

[@sl.8967]

That's a very interesting video ! I wanted to know a little more about private schools abroad, because I am in a private Catholic school in France and it's not very different, but we start at 3 and finish at 18 years old, and boys and girls are mixed. Sorry for my english, I know it's not perfect...😅

Hi George, is it possible to apply for kings scholarship if you are irish/ and attend a school in ireland? I thought it was only open to British schools.thank you in advance

[@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections]

Yes, it certainly is.

[@wjwsdf]

When will the school tell you if you can do the kings scholarship?

[@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections]

After you do their 11+

[@vagabaassassina3461]

Well, do they allow to have dates? Like, if two boys are gay and their classmates and they are dating is it a problem?

they could but they will get bullied

Then stand out.

[@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections]

@@juliancain3872 How so?

[@juliancain3872]

@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections In most school selection processes it helps to stand out. Other than outsanding grades and reputible parents and the whole process. With work, projects, charities, and your own personal story. What has Eton seen before, and more importantly what has Eton never seen before. Personal connection with an interiewer or house master may be helpful. Most of this for a ten year old to teen would be unusual. Though Eton feels like a different entity entirely, but it can't hurt.

hi, how smart would you say you have to be to get in? would you say that its ur genes, ur work ethic or just being financially able which allowed u to get in? thank you

[@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections]

You have to be above average. You need native intelligence and endeavour. If you can pay the full fee £42 000 per annum that helps. There are scholarships but these are incredibly difficult.

[@VK-il9kv]

@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections thank you for the reply, its so useful :) if you don't mind me asking, how much prep did you do before you got into eton? and how did u do it- eg.. all by yourself or ur parents helped u ...thank you!!! i appreciate it

Is There Anyway To Get Into Eton For Free??? Such as a scholarship???? I know you can get into many private schools and grammar schools with a scholarship.

Yes there is King's Scholarsip

you can't get into a grammar school with a scholarship you past a test called the 11+ and if you fail you don't get in if you pass you do.

When I first learnt of Eton College at the age of twelve I must admit I initially hated the whole idea of it. I couldn't believe a small number of boys of my age were going to have such an education. I did not want to believe, and could not believe, that such an education was going to continue for my generation too. Just as it had done so for countless generations of boys before us. I couldn't understand why all the adults and wider society wanted it to continue. I couldn't understand why Eton College had not been and wasn't going to be abolished. Could not the adults see how unfair and unjust it was? Couldn't they see how wrong it was to give a first class education to one boy and a second rate education to another boy? Couldn't they see how such schools were going to perpetuate inequality between us as children? That the class system was going to continue if you give to some boys an advantage and privilege within education. It is difficult to explain, and as a teenager I never thought I would say this, but as you become older you slowly (if somewhat grudgingly and quite reluctantly) begin to see and to understand for yourself the important role a public school like Eton College plays in education. You begin to understand and to acknowledge the invaluable and incalculable role such a School plays in educating every generation. Even those in my age group. Above all else you also begin to see how special it would be if all of this now continued. Not only for the next generation, but also for the many, many boys who will follow them.

[@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections]

I am glad that you changed your view. But do not imagine that going to Eton guarantees success.

[@cosmicmusicreynolds3266]

This class education only suits a small privileged elite. who does this benefit , as you gave a strange ambiguous response whuch sounded more like a guilty conscience to begin with. The problem with this type of education it does nt not expose any of those who experience it to qny other type of learning other than a minority born to rule. to givean example of how figures to Oxford have dropped from academy , state schools etc. Class division in eton is there and it shows.

Don't you find the whole Eton thing just strange and elitist? It's absolutely extortionate and it's only for certain types of people.

[@akbarel-amin8803]

Well, its certainly not for the general public,lol,These are typically families of great wealth and status, they have a scholarship for poor boys, of unusual,exceptional, talent and abilities from extremely ambitious families.Some of your classmates will be members of royal families from around the world. Hence, it is extremely elitist.

​@@akbarel-amin8803 , this is a lie. I go to the school, and I don't know anyone that's in a royal family there. More than 25% have huge discounts on the fees - and they do not stand out from the crowd, and neither do those who are from posh families.
