Create a guide on how you got into your program ($50-$65) #16

Description

@ademidun

If you currently attend any of the following programs listed at the bottom of this message, write a detailed guide explaining how you got into that program.

Requirements

Your guide should include:

  • Blog post: minimum ~1000 words
  • Slides: minimum 10 slides
  • Video of you presenting those slides: minimum 5 minutes
  • If you have one, share your guide on your social media: LinkedIn, Twitter, IG etc.

Note: the length limits are not a hard rule. We care more about quality than quantity, but the more information you share the better.

Bonus (+ $15)

Note: Only complete this section if a member of the Atila team has invited you to do so.

  • Convert the guide into a Twitter thread
  • Convert the guide into a TikTok video

Requirements

We're looking for very specific, actionable advice that is very detailed.

Avoid vague cliches like: "try your best!" and "don't give up!". Adding encouragement to your guide is actually good and we encourage it but also make sure to give tangible and practical tips.

Some ideas for the questions you should answer in your guide:

  • Why did you pick that program?
    • Was it the ranking? If yes, what websites did you use to get the ranking?
    • Student Life? How did you know the student life would be good?
    • Was it because of the job opportunities you can get from the program?
    • What data, websites, books did you use to arrive at that conclusion?
  • How did you know what would make a good application?
  • Did you speak with anyone?
    • Current students? Recruitment?
    • How did you get in touch with them
    • How did you get their contact information?
  • How did you keep track of your applications? What software did you use?
    • Notion, Google Docs? Grammarly? etc.
  • Where did you get your information from?
    • subreddits, Discords, social media accounts did you find helpful

Submission Instructions
