  • @SidharthGat
    @SidharthGat 3 роки тому

    I'll be asking you the same question that you answered in this video, but in a bit more specific way, as I want to shift my trend, and due to being isolated from my field of interest, while pursuing a field of non-interest.
    I'm a student currently pursuing engineering, but was interested in science from the very beginning. And now would like to shift to science after my BE. currently to my knowledge
    building a profile that shows undertaking sciency things (like projects and research papers) improves the chances of getting admitted in addition to taking the GRE test. My question to you is what all projects, courses, or any undertaking in general would you suggest. (Science related)
    and what are the most recent stuff going on in science which I could start working on, or at least educate myself with to improve my profile? Also, you can let me know anything else that you might have to say which would help me in getting into science.

    • @independentconsultant
      @independentconsultant  3 роки тому +1

      Hey man, I am not a science major unfortunately so I don't think I can give you a specific answer- however, the process stays the same: I like to reverse engineer the process - Look at the science program you want to join, check the courses, and see what projects can give you the skills/knowledge to give you an edge over other candidates.

I'm latin, but I do can speak english, so in my videos i would be explaing spanish stuff in english. To get to a begginer public, then I could offer some zoom spaces where I can speak spanish with people that would like to practice with a native speaker.
