THE TOP 3 THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN APPLYING TO UNIVERSITY
University applications can be an exciting, yet daunting experience. With so many different factors to take into account, the applications process can become overwhelming and seem to take over your life – which is already busy enough! Here are some top tips from Cambridge Immerse:
GO TO THE UNIVERSITY YOU WANT TO GO TO AND STUDY WHAT YOU WANT TO STUDY
Everyone – your mum, dad, teachers, friends, the dinner lady – will have an opinion about which universities you should apply to and what course you should choose. These opinions are useful, of course, but you have to remember that, ultimately, it will be you who actually has to study at that institution / on that course, so you need to put your own gut feelings first. You should remember that your opinion is by far the most important.
GO IN PERSON BEFORE APPLYING
A university prospectus can tell a different story to the actual campus experience. This is important for university halls of residence where pictures can make rooms look much larger and nicer than the reality.
GET A CRASH COURSE IN A SUBJECT
For many students, the academic challenges of university are a substantial step up from what they are used to at A-level. With this in mind, a pre-university preparation course can give you a taste of what the academic standard is likely to be like at university, while being specifically tailored to offer as much personalised guidance as you need to help with this transition. It is also a fantastic way of showing universities your dedication to the subject.
