CHALLENGE #1
1️⃣ Step 1: Explore
- Filled out Worksheet: DONE ✅
Top 3 priorities I realized:
- Academic focused
- Research opportunities
- Independent learning environment
2️⃣ Step 2: Narrow Down
- Imperial College London -- Fame and reputation in research.
- University College London -- The exploration vibe it gives off and the interdisciplinarity.
- University of Oxford - This has been my aim all along. The reputation in research and Campus visuals.
3️⃣ Step 3: Research
- Used Tracker: DONE ✅
School 1: Imperial College London
- GPA: 3.60
- SAT: 1200
- Course: Mathematics and Computer Science
- EC: Join a society like Taekwondo or Pilates
- Take-away: I do appreciate Imperial's academic rigor and research-focused environment. However Imperial feels like 'here's the grind, survive it', but I'm looking for a feel that says 'here's the path, let's explore it together'!
School 2: University College London
- GPA: 3.5
- SAT: 1490
- Course: Computer Science
- EC: Researching on psychology taking advantage of UCL's electives
- Take-away: UCL is an amazing Uni with a flexible system that lets you take electives outside your major, which I love; the only thing I notice is that 57% of students are foreigners—hope that won’t be an issue, but I’m definitely curious to learn more about the Uni!
School 3: University of Oxford
- GPA: 3.7 (UK equivalent(more specific): First class or Upper Second class)
- SAT: 1470
- Course: Computer Science
- EC: Doing projects and researching with Ellison Institute of Technology
- Take-away: This Uni is PERFECT for me. Well reputed. Academic focused. Research opportunities. Independent learning environment. Top faculties. I love their tutoring system. THE TUTORIALS!!
4️⃣ Step 4: Failed.
No luck...
I had fun!! Thank You!!
