About the event
Serving National Service while planning for university can leave you with a lot of questions.
You might be wondering whether you should apply before, during, or after NS? What if you’ve already been accepted but want to explore better options? Should you use your NS years to build more activities, research, or internships? If you’re approaching your application deadline while in NS, what can you realistically still do? And if you’re looking for a scholarship, when should you apply?
Whether you’re about to enlist, currently serving, or approaching ORD, your situation — and the right admissions strategy — can look very different.
In this webinar, you’ll hear perspectives on:
✔ Applying before, during, or after NS — and how to think about the timing of your application
✔ Making the most of your NS years — what is worth doing and what may not be necessary
