And so my UK applications have gone to the drain. Rejections from UCL, King's, LSE and Oxford. I think it's time I take my applications more seriously. To be honest, ever since i got admitted into NUS Law I have somehow become way more complacent. In some ways, I think this entire application process is a good wake up call that results only come with effort.
In some ways, I've been taking this year in a really laid back manner. I think it's time to tune things up a bit, set some higher goals, expectations and expect to be somewhere good by the end of the year both in terms of NS and in my higher education goals. Being really out of touch with studies for almost a year and a half have made getting back to studying much more difficult. I can't last as long as i could before.
I have to be more disciplined when it comes to studying for my SATs. This year will be my first and last chance to apply to study in the US. So i can't afford to fuck this up just like i did my LNATs.
I believe my UCAS application went to the drain because of my LNAT score which was pretty darn shitty. i got slightly above the average of 21, i think i got 23. but you need a score of like 30 and higher to stand a really good chance of entering UCL, King's LSE, Oxford.
A few things to accomplish this year:
1. Get a SAT score above 2200, write my application essays, apply to the US.
- May SAT and Nov SAT?
-Decide which schools to attend.
2. Get an LNAT score above 30 - practice more and maybe lessons?
- Decide if i should reapply to Oxford,
- take the lnats by year end, well prepared.
3. BIOC?
- Comd CIG wants me to be in the top 20%.
with all the above commitments, my time must be very well managed. I don't believe it's very difficult. Spend the day in camp doing my staff work and studying for BIOC. Spend the evenings studying for SATs and practising diligently.
I just needed to collect my thoughts since my UK applications turned out completely opposite of what i had expected. It's a real wake up call. I got too complacent. Well, sometimes it takes a dead end or major obstacle to make you realise you went down the wrong path.
