Prioritizing JUPAS Choices
Iteration Process – How It Works
Merit Order List
Temporary Cut-off Line
Final Cut-off Line
<JUPAS Website Useful Material>
Iteration Process – Conclusions Band A choices matter most – about 70% of offers
2011 JUPAS Entry
Strong results can go above cut-off lines Uncertainties ~ How strong is “strong”?? ~ How many competitors do I have? ~ How strong are they?
Choose the mountain you want to climb. Don’t be influenced by what other people say:
“that one’s prettier” or
“that one looks easier”.
You are going to put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into achieving your objective, and you are the only person responsible for your choice, so be quite sure about what you are doing.
“Like the Flowing River”
Paulo Coelho (2006)
… … …Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
