| I also want to thank you VTBB for posting your thoughts and your process. It is all so true. It is more important that a person find his/her "place" than the name of the school. NO particular school is a ticket to success. The person his/herself can be a success no matter where they went to school. Finding a school where you can be happy and thrive is critical. There is no one right school for anyone. A good match and fit is important but surely a student can be happy at more than one place and at schools that don't have the name recognition. When it comes time to make it in this field and in the world, the name of the school on the resume is not going to be someone's "ticket." Being educated, trained, and talented, and some luck, will be what leads to positive things.
You have a great attitude and also I like that you shared your thoughts here so it helps those just starting on this next admissions cycle. You're gonna make it VTBB. I look forward to reading more about your journey. Also if at some point you wish to share the school you will attend, and can visit here once in a while next year to share experiences, that would be great, particularly as you plan to do a BA in MT which actually is a good path for many students who would benefit from hearing what it is like from someone in such a degree program.
Best wishes. |
