Aarav
Four-Year Gold Tier | University of Oxford
Insight: Aarav didn’t attend an elite school. What he had, though, was an obsession with classical literature, a passion for ethics, and the rare ability to hold his own in intellectual debate forums. We saw a future Oxford PPE student the moment we met him.
Strategy & Execution
Socratic Development
Weekly 90-minute Zoom salons (led by a retired Oxford tutor) on ethics, game theory, and EU politics; each session ended with a written “mini-essay” we critiqued for concision and logic.
Essay Framing
Mapped PPE course modules to his debate wins, then wove an “ideas into action” arc—showing how academic inquiry led to community policy workshops he organised locally.
Passion Project
Helped Aarav recruit an editorial board across four continents, set up a Substack, and grow to 2 k+ subscribers via LinkedIn thought-pieces and targeted Model UN mailing lists.
UK Prep
Brought in two PPE alumni for mock tutorials; drilled him on “moral luck,” welfare economics, and fast “why this tutor/college” responses; provided a 12-page feedback dossier.
