I always knew I wanted to go to university almost as soon as I started school. And while the subjects I wanted to study kept on changing, my desire to attend a great university was the one constant. I always assumed that when I was old enough I would just be in university, much in the same way, one day I was in primary school, the next I was in high school.

Of course the reality was quite different - something I found out as soon as I started my A levels. You didn’t just organically move onto being a university student, you have to apply to different ones. You have to research the different subjects, you have to visit campuses and meet teachers and make what is one of the most important decisions of your adult life.

I studied in the UK and the application process itself was an exhaustive one. It involved travelling to different universities around the country trying to figure out which one would be the best fit. I met with countless career advisers to pinpoint the correct subject, because as much as I knew the field I wanted to work in, I underestimated just how many different courses were available.

Then there was the application itself, preparing my personal statement, tailoring it so it was applicable to all the universities I was applying to, making sure it was coherent and contained all the information that would lead to at least one acceptance. Because, as I was reminded many times throughout the process, there are thousands of other students vying for the same universities as you, so you have to stand out.

So if you are ready to take that next big step and master your destiny, make sure you don’t miss out on Uniserv’s international education fair. Registration to attend is free.
