University Preparation

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE

Many people go to college because their parents make them do it…or don’t go to college because nobody else in the family has. That’s not the point. Going to college opens opportunities for yourself. It’s something you do for your future. It is a completely free and independent choice that you take simply because you know you deserve it.

So shake off that emotional baggage about how your parents are forcing you to do it or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, aren’t supportive of your decision to go. The choice is completely yours… and it is one of the best choices you will make in your life.

ADMISSION AND ACADEMIC RECORDS

Some colleges require very high grades for you to even be considered for entry. But that’s only some. You don’t have to go to an Ivy League school, or take a quota . There are thousands of universities and colleges all over the world, and even more that are “located” on the Internet (called distance learning, or online education). Not only that, you can easily go to a smaller college first, and then bring up your academic standing, before applying for a more prestigious and school with stricter entrance requirements.

GETTING A COLLEGE LOAN

College can be expensive, but that doesn’t mean it’s an option only for those with trust funds. You can get financial aid, apply for scholarships, take out a loan, or opt for a lighter course load and work while you put yourself through school.

CHOOSING A COURSE

Most teenagers don’t have clearcut career goals by the time they from high school. Fortunately, you don’t have to select a course immediately. It’s possible to enroll in general subjects first, then choose a major after two years. Others enroll in an online program and work for a few years, just to get an idea of what kind of work they will enjoy, and then go to a bigger university when they feel ready (at least, by then, they’ve gotten some of the general credits out of the way). And remember, you can always shift majors in the middle of your university stay. If you want to study abroad, it may be a good idea to attend language classes first: sprachschule englisch Cork.
