Mystory@Vinothkumar P: How I chose my course and college
Part of the attraction of a Master’s degree is the chance to specialise in your chosen subject and sub-field from a range of options within a parent discipline. An undergraduate might study a broad course in a subject like English literature, but a Masters degree in the same field might focus upon a particular specialty, such as the writing associated with particular historical contexts, or in selected genres. Similarly, a student in the sciences might go from acquiring a general competence in one of the natural or physical sciences at undergraduate level to an MSc programme designed to develop expertise in very specific areas such as Quantum Mechanics or Forensic Chemistry.
I chose to go to a University because I like being part of a large group and diverse student body. The world is a big place, just as my University, and the parallels between the two would better help prepare me for post-college life in the real world. Also, my University has a really strong School of Sciences and I wanted to study under the best minds in the country.
In today’s world of tough competition when too many students apply for a few coveted seats you need to present yourself in the interview in such a way that the interviewer sees more content in you than what your application form reflects. Sure, strong academic credentials are necessary, but they are no longer sufficient to earn admission into top institutions. In addition to excellent grades and test scores, students must be able to prove that they are a good ‘fit’ for their choice of colleges.
Surely, to get better I must look back on good things I’ve done in my life, which were responsible for my happiness and try to improve upon my skills and competencies and strive towards perfection in my life.
