The "Burning Questions" Edition (Pt. 1) - w/Alvin (Project Access‪)‬ UniTea

“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.” - Thomas Edison

Join us in this conversation with Alvin from Project Access, a non-profit organization that connects bright Singaporean pre-university students from underprivileged and underrepresented backgrounds with Singaporean student mentors at top universities.

In this special edition, Alvin tackles some of our frequently asked questions on pursuing an overseas education. As he touches on some of our common worries for the application process and challenges the many myths that surround it, we are reminded of the importance of keeping our options open and having the courage to rise up to the challenge.
