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 .
