Thank you!

- How important are extra-curriculars for UK schools? Not sure if I should ramp that up in the Fall.

Although the experiential elements in your profile are on the weaker side, your academics are stellar and you have a shot at all three programs.

Hi Linda,

I appreciate the reply -

What can I do in the coming months to best improve my profile?

Thank you!

Obtain relevant work experience or an internship. Assume leadership roles in extra-curricular activities or community service.

Best,
Linda Abraham
