Have faith, believe in your ability
Print Edition
I’VE had my sights set on studying in the US from the beginning, so for me this process started over four years ago. To be honest, I was very shocked by the offers I received. I never expected to get one from either Brown or Cambridge, never mind both.
Sometimes it is very hard to gauge your chances of being accepted, especially when it comes to US colleges. Throughout the process, Wellington’s higher education team was extremely helpful. Their contagious enthusiasm really made me have faith in myself and their help with my UCAS essay significantly improved my UK application. I am also very grateful for the recommendation letters that supported my applications.
My advice to those starting their university applications is to believe in yourself and don’t be afraid to try even when the percentages are daunting.
Also, start planning early and remember that SATs and other statistics are never deal-breakers.
Finally, applying through both UK and US systems is a large time-consuming commitment. There is no need to apply to a ton of colleges, “just to be safe.”
