Here is the interview with Dulwich College Shanghai Head Boy Johnnie and Head Girl Mao about their university preparation.
Q: What year did you join Dulwich College Shanghai and the Road to University Pathway?
Johnnie: I joined Dulwich College Shanghai in Year 6 and have followed the “Road to University Pathway” from the beginning in Year 7 to 13, my final year.
Q: Can you please share your first university counselling experience?
Mao: I joined the college in Year 8. In my earlier years, I explored my interests, to try and pinpoint a career I would be interested in. I then explored what would be required for my desired courses and careers.
Q: Did the University Counselling influence your options in Year 9?
Johnnie: During Year 9, students were required to produce a senior school plan to improve study skills, select IGCSE classes, and explore new co-curricular activities. In Year 9, I was the only student in the year group to choose Chinese Literature, History, and Economics. It presented scheduling issues but the counselling team were able to fully resolve the issue for me.
Q: How did the university counselling team engage in your university planning progress?
Mao: The University Counselling Team guided us through the whole process, from writing our personal statements to securing our university list. They advised us on considering the best courses for us for the IGCSEs and the IB, that would best prepare us for university. As my counsellor got to know me better, she was extremely helpful in finding the “best fit” universities, where I would feel the most happiest.
Q: What was the highlight of University Counselling in Year 11?
Mao: After several discussions with my counsellor, I was able to select the subjects that I loved and that would best prepare me for my courses. It seemed daunting our subject choices can change our university options, however they were always there to help and suggest combinations. In addition, I attended a summer school which helped me to build concrete plans on what I wanted to major in.
