💖 Senior’s Ramblings: My Early Admission Journey 💖
Back then, I was also a little girl who was confused about the future. My Gaokao scores were average, but I loved drawing since I was a child and had won some small awards. With the mentality of giving it a try, I applied for the independent enrollment of a design major at a certain 985 university.
The preparation process was really torturous! I went to class during the day and stayed up late at night to prepare my portfolio, write a self-recommendation letter, and practice for interviews… During that time, I felt like I was going to go “bald”! 😭
Fortunately, the result was good! I successfully passed the preliminary review, written test, and interview, and got the qualification for reduced score admission! At that moment, I felt that all the effort was worth it! 🥰
So, girls, if you also have dreams and talents, don’t give up easily! Early admission may be another way for you to reach your ideal university! Go for it! 💪
