It was the day I remembered when I was completely unmotivated to revise for my A level. The day I looked back when I was excruciatingly and patiently waiting for my A-level results.<\/p>\n<p>The day started with getting a coffee, I mean obviously, duh. I went to the Skempton building, slightly nervous, but I convinced myself that if it wasn&#8217;t meant to be, it wasn&#8217;t meant to be. I was directed to a room, where the magic happens. (By magic I mean the interview, if you don&#8217;t know it already). I chatted with a few people in the room, some of which are my classmates.<\/p>\n<p>The recruitment day started with the strangest possible question. I&#8217;m sorry, I have to be honest. I vividly remember one of the question was relating a pineapple and an essay. I vaguely remember having to relate a tree and an efficient time management. It was strange, but it calmed me and assured me that I can do the next stage of the admission process, the maths test. Plus, it gives me unforgettable memory of that day.<\/p>\n<p>We were then shown around the campus, both the department and Imperial. That tour honestly made me feel like an insider, I wasn&#8217;t just another name trying to get in. Instead, I felt a sense of welcomeness. Something I didn&#8217;t thought I could get at a world leading university. This might not be the reason a lot of people come to Imperial. I came here not just because of its sterling academic record, but to be somewhere where I am welcomed for who I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote on my previous blog that this day was the day I fell absolutely in love with Imperial.
