Myfyriwr Lefel A yn cael ei dewis o 1000au i fynychu Cwrs Preswyl Prifysgol Caergrawnt
Dewiswyd Shauna Lloyd, 17 oed o Llwyngwril ger Dolgellau - sy'n astudio ar gyfer ei Safon Uwch ar gampws Dolgellau y coleg - fel un o ddim ond 40 o fyfyrwyr allan o filoedd a wnaeth gais i fynd i Goleg Downing Prifysgol Caergrawnt am ddeuddydd ar gwrs preswyl.
Yn gynharach yn yr haf cymerodd Shaun ran yn nifer o raglenni ysgolion haf prifysgol gorau'r DU yn rhithiol oherwydd cyfyngiadau Covid. Yn wreiddiol, mynychodd Shauna ysgol haf Seicoleg Prifysgol Lancaster, ac yna ysgol haf ar-lein a drefnwyd gan yr adran Gwyddoniaeth Fiolegol yng Ngholeg Magdalene, Prifysgol Caergrawnt.
Meddai Shauna: “Roeddwn yn hapus iawn i gael fy newis allan o filoedd o ymgeiswyr i gymryd rhan yn ysgol haf Coleg Downing. Mwynheais yn arbennig y gweithdai Meddwl yn Feirniadol a'r gweithdai i'ch helpu i wneud cais llwyddiannus i astudio ym Mhrifysgol Caergrawnt.
“Ni roddwyd yr holl amser i ymdrechion academaidd: roedd y barbeciw ar lawnt Coleg Downing ar ôl taith gerdded pedair milltir o amgylch Caergrawnt yn un o’r uchafbwyntiau, a byddaf bob amser yn cofio’r daith pyntio o amgylch pensaernïaeth a cholegau enwog Caergrawnt. . ”
Os nad oedd hyn i gyd yn ddigon i Shauna, cafodd gyfle hefyd i deithio i Surrey i gymryd rhan yn ysgol haf Seicoleg Prifysgol Surrey ychydig ddyddiau ar ôl dychwelyd o Gaergrawnt.
Ychwnaegodd Shauna: “Rwyf wedi cael amser anhygoel yr haf hwn. Roedd pob un o'r ysgolion haf yn rhad ac am ddim, a byddwn yn argymell fy holl gyd-fyfyrwyr i wneud cais am y flwyddyn nesaf. Mae ceisiadau fel arfer ar agor rhwng Mawrth a Mai felly cadwch olwg allan; mae'n gyfle gwych. ”

17-year-old Shauna Lloyd from Llwyngwril near Dolgellau - who is studying for her A-levels at the college’s Dolgellau campus - was chosen as one of only 40 students out of thousands who applied to attend Cambridge University's Downing College for a two-day, enhanced residential course in person, due to a relaxing in restrictions.
Earlier in the summer Shauna also took part in several of the UK’s best university summer school programmes on a virtual basis due to more severe Covid restrictions. Shauna originally ‘attended’ Lancaster University’s Psychology summer school, followed by an online summer school organised by the Biological Science department at Magdalene College, Cambridge University.
Shauna said: “I was really happy to be chosen out of thousands of applicants to take part in Downing College’s summer school. I especially enjoyed the Critical Thinking workshops and the workshops to help you make a successful application to study at Cambridge University.
“Not all of the time was given to academic endeavours: the BBQ on Downing College’s lawn after a four-mile walking tour of Cambridge was one of the highlights, and I will always remember the guided punt tour around the famous architecture and colleges of Cambridge.”
If not all of this was enough for Shauna, she also given the opportunity to travel to Surrey to take part in the University of Surrey’s Psychology summer school a few days after returning from Cambridge.
Shauna concluded: “I’ve had an amazing time this summer. All of the summer schools that I attended were free of charge and I would recommend all my fellow students to apply for next year. Applications are normally open from March - May so keep an eye out; it truly is a fantastic opportunity.”
