How to Get into a Top University
Forget your Plan B. You won’t need it.
I would lie if I stated that this is a simple question to be answered.
I would also be lying if I said that there is a specific answer, since not only is every student different, but every situation isn’t the same neither.
When one wants to find an answer to this question, it would be essential to ask someone who has experienced a similar situation.
Personally, I was honored to have been accepted by McGill University, where I am currently studying. Therefore, I would be able to provide some insight for future undergraduate or graduate students.
However, please be reminded; this is based on my personal experience and the opinion I have formed from my first-hand knowledge.
I am attacking this crucial question of getting into a top university based on how I actually got accepted to one of the top 3 universities of Canada and a ‘top-notch’ institution globally.
