This 20 minute talk may change your mind about which university you want to apply for! Malcolm Gladwell is a fascinating author and speaker who has gained an international reputation for his work on making social psychology accessible to everyone. One of the main questions he has explored includes what makes people successful, and it is this which he discusses here with reference to Universities and Class Ranking. It is a LOT more interesting than it might sound. Highly recommended. And yes, we do have his books in the library.
If you have no paid jobs to write up on your Resume, how about a stint volunteering? You will get to meet people (and the invisible network of possible employers) you will do good work for others and you can add your experiences to your resume. Everyone is a winner!
