Welcome!/Tere Tulemast!

In this blog, I mostly write in English, although when I write about things that may also be important for my grandparents, then I also translate my posts into Estonian.

Käesolev blogi on enamjaolt kirjutatud inglise keeles, kuid kirjutised, mis on mõeldud ka vanavanematele lugemiseks, on tõlgitud ka eesti keelde.

Project: University #5 - Interview (HSPS at Cambridge)


Good evening my dear readers!

Having returned from the interviews at Cambridge for Human, Social and Political Sciences course, it is now time to give an overview about how it was, who were the other applicants and what exactly happened during the interviews. First, I can reassure that it was not as bad as somebody might think and the whole process really was lots of fun. Second, I feel much more confident coming back from there and whatever happens, the experience has been great.

Hereby I return to keep You updated with the topic of me applying to university. I truly hope that reading my blog posts will inspire You to apply to different universities all-over the world. Maybe they will even help You get Your applications going and if You have any questions You cannot find answers from elsewhere, then feel free to ask me.

Until that, have fun reading the rest of the post!

Debating: Two Tournaments, Two Formats, Two Countries

Good evening my dear readers!

It has been another three weeks since my previous post and I have decided to start writing about yet another topic on my blog. I will of course continue writing about my travelling experiences and the process of applying to the universities, but starting from now, I will also take up the topic of debating, which has been my hobby for three years. I will start writing about different tournaments that I have been a participant in and maybe I will also add just a little bit about different cases.

In the last couple of weeks, I have been a participant in two different tournaments, one in the format of Karl Popper, the other in the format of British Parliament and now I will turn towards writing more about those experiences. If You have not debated before, then maybe now You will feel more like trying it out and if You have, then I think You will still find some interesting thoughts that may be interesting for You.

Have fun reading the rest of the post!

Project: University #4 - Getting the first response

Good morning my dear readers!

It has been three weeks since my last post and there has been some response to my attempts to get into an university in Great Britain. As I already might have mentioned, then Cambridge requested that I would send them some certain documents and an essay in English. In addition, some other universities have made some requests and one of them has moved further. Other than the university application process, I also travelled to Germany few weeks ago to visit the school there that has some close relations with Sütevaka.

Hereby I return to keep You updated with the topic of me applying to university. I truly hope that reading my blog posts will inspire You to apply to different universities all-over the world. Maybe they will even help You get Your applications going and if You have any questions You cannot find answers from elsewhere, then feel free to ask me.

Until that, have fun reading the rest of the post!

Project: University #3 - Sending SAQ away

Good morning my dear readers!

Not much has changed since my last post, where I said, I sent my UCAS application away. As I already mentioned, Cambridge sent me a request to fill their SAQ form, where they want to get some extra information about me, my school work and my reasons why I want to go to university (more accurately, my reasons why to go to Cambridge). That has been done by now and also all of the universities have replied to my application.

Hereby I return to keep You updated with the topic of me applying to university. I truly hope that reading my blog posts will inspire You to apply to different universities all-over the world. Maybe they will even help You get Your applications going and if You have any questions You cannot find answers from elsewhere, then feel free to ask me.

Until that, have fun reading the rest of the post!

Project: University #2 - Sending UCAS away

Good evening my dear readers!

In my last post, I mentioned that if you want to apply for medicine or to Oxbridge, the deadline is 15th of October and therefore lately I have had some busy times in order to perfect my UCAS application, while also handling school-work and just trying to have fun. As of yesterday afternoon, I sent my UCAS application out, so a stone has dropped in my heart.

Hereby I return to keep You updated with the topic of me applying to university. I truly hope that reading my blog posts will inspire You to apply to different universities all-over the world. Maybe they will even help You get Your applications going and if You have any questions You cannot find answers from elsewhere, then feel free to ask me.

Until that, have fun reading the rest of the post!
