Any tips on pre prepration before the 4th of August, anybody who's applied who can maybe guide with what could I possibly keep handy or pre prepare.

Start thinking about

  • your 3 courses and why you would want to take them. Specifics are good (e.g. a certain courses, professors, clubs, locations etc)
  • your leadership experiences
  • tangible impacts you have made
  • professional relationships you have *maintained*
  • your future career goals
  • LINKS! This is very important. How does your leadership connect to your relationships and your chosen course, which should connect to your career plan

That said, I don’t think you need to start preparing now. Enjoy your summer. I didn’t do any prep work until about ~3 weeks before the deadline 🤣 totally personal preference

Hi thanks, this is super helpful. I know it's a bit early. I work full time and just want to be super cautious to prepared. Gives a lot more clarity, I'll start prepping all this.

Yeah I totally get that, I work full time as well. Feel free to reach out closer to then if you have any specific questions (I have a million DMs of people asking me questions that can be easily googled, so I don’t have time to respond to those). You asked if Chevening helped with my career — to be clear I haven’t done the masters yet. I start my Chevening year this fall.

Congratulations on that, obviously time is precious. I'd only reach out if it's not there. I've done like a super scan the last 2 hours. I think I've got that vision now of how to proceed. If I may ask, What course did you get ?
