What I wish I knew BEFORE applying to University

Показать описание

This is what I wish I knew before applying to uni. My time at Cambridge, Harvard and Oxford University has taught me that it's important to consider 3 factors before you apply to uni.

1.Consider what you want to do and whether a uni degree is necessary for it. For example, if you want to become a doctor, then you need a medical degree. But if you want to become a lawyer, then you don’t actually need a law degree

2.Second which uni does it best
Different unis have different strengths and it would be wise to apply to the uni that does your desired course the best.
Uni league tables often give a good idea of this.

3.Thirdly the Oxbridge-Ivy Phenomena
Oxbridge in the UK and Ivy league schools in America are generally weighted higher by most employers for most jobs.
For example, if you're applying to a competitive corporate law firm, having the Oxbridge name may help you.
This I believe is driven by many factors:
• Prestige
• Networking
• Competitive entry process
• Implied competencies
• Nepotism

Just a tip: even if your preferred career doesn't require a degree it's smart to get one of some sort. Especially if your dream job has a competitive industry.

Personally I want to be an author (no degree required) but I'm getting a psych degree bc I enjoy it and it gives me a solid fallback career if I can't make it in writing. Obviously if you can't afford college and you don't need a degree, don't go into debt for it. But even going to community College and getting a general degree improves your chances of having a solid career.

Take that with a grain of salt, but it's just my advice from my experience.

Only 5 of those 12 schools are in the Ivy League

Bro who told you if you want to become a lawyer you don’t require a law degree ? Don’t misguide people. There are different countries with different regulations and in some countries you need a law degree to even appear for the bar exam. Do your homework.
