Was there ever a doubt in that? I wish I had known that University is for networking and making connections. Maybe my life would have been easier.
My ex's internship at Harvard was as simple as her dad knowing a prof that is friends with a harvard one. No prep, no interview, no nothing. It opened a lot of doors and that's great, but the interesting thing was that when things are so easy to attain, I had to do a lot of convincing to actually get her to attend it.
And when I contrast it to the amount of stones that were thrown in my way, I can't help but be a little bit jealous
- arethuza 8y agoI remember when my wife was applying to law schools in the UK and she happened to know someone (through a sporting club) who had previously handled admissions at one law school and he explained to her that they were looking for an "alpha quality" in applicants - my wife proceeded to ask what actually made up this quality and how they tested for it - to which the answer was basically "you know it when you see it". Eventually when she realised was "alpha quality" meant "went to a good public school and already have family in the profession"... Mind you - at least these days law has changed and nobody really cares about how posh your relatives are, just how much money they have....
