Admission

Nine cards on getting into the place you have chosen: your real chances, what is missing, who else is competing, where the risk is and how it ends.

Take it once the place is already chosen and the only question is your chance of getting in.

How to read it

The layout runs upward, like a climb to a gate. The bottom row is you and the place: how you come to the competition, what the institution really is, and your chances today. The middle row is the distance to the goal: what is missing, who else is competing, and how papers and dates will go. The top row is the gate itself: what helps, the outcome and what begins after it. Read the missing card and the helping card together: help usually covers the lack exactly. If the outcome is worse than your chances, you lose the place in the paperwork, not at the exam.

Positions

  1. You as an applicant

    What you bring to the competition: preparation, confidence and your real motivation.

  2. The place you chose

    What this institution actually is, rather than what its description and friends say.

  3. Your chances

    How far you really pass on merit today, without hope and without panic.

  4. What is missing

    The missing piece: a score, a document, experience, a reference or confidence at interview.

  5. The competition

    Who is going in beside you and how those people are stronger or weaker than you.

  6. Papers and dates

    How the formal side goes and where carelessness could cost you the place.

  7. What helps

    The person, circumstance or quality of yours that tips the decision your way.

  8. The outcome

    Whether you get in this year and on what terms.

  9. What begins after

    What your life becomes after admission and what to get ready for in advance.
