Hello everyone! Welcome to our very first Reach for Excellence Webchat! Ask us anything! This is your chance to ask us any questions you have about RfE, university, and anything else you want to know, as well as learning from the answers to other people’s questions too. If the chat is busy then we’ll be typing at breakneck speed to respond to you all, so please be patient if we take a while to get on to your question.
