Okay, so I'm busy and tired and mostly angry, same old, same old. But in this post, as I promised before I am going to tell more about my dream university. When I see its building, its large, green area, and their basketball courts I feel like crying because I really really really want to go there for college, but I don't know if I can make it with all the competition and high standards. If I don't get in, I don't know what will be of me. It's my whole dream, and when you see your dream crushed, well...
So here goes. My dream university is called Bandung Institute of Technology. It is one of the top universities in Indonesia, since a lot of the people from the country wants to get in there too. The competition is just crazy, I don't think I can compete. But I just have to get in. I have to. I can't even explain why or how I'm going to give everything I have for me to go there. I'm just willing to do everything and anything. I have my reasons, and if I fail.... Please do pray for me so I can get in. Whoever does, I thank you so much because this means a lot to me.
Okay, so I'm going to tell a bit about ITB and what I've prepped so far to get in.
Institut Teknologi Bandung is, of course, located in Bandung, in Jalan Ganesha no. 10. It is one of the best public universities in Indonesia, and from year to year is the university with the highest competition to get into. It currently has 2 campuses, one in Jalan Ganesha, and one in Jatinangor, Bandung. They're currently planning to build 2 more campuses. It is also the oldest engineering university in Indonesia, which was built on July 3rd, 1920, under the colonization of Dutch. The republic's first president, who also had a major role in Indonesia's independence, Soekarno, was an alumnus. The third president, BJ Habibie, is also an alumnus of ITB. There are many notable ITB alumnus, including Aburizal Bakrie, Akbar Tandjung, Hatta Rajasa, Betti Alisjahbana, AA Gym, and Karen Agustiawan. From year to year, it is the university with the highest selectivity in Indonesia, with selectivity rate almost equivalent to Harvard and Stanford, higher than Yale, Princeton, and MIT. It currently has 2 campuses, one in Jalan Ganesha, and one in Jatinangor. ITB now has 9 colleges, and is planning to build 2 more campuses.
As for what I've prepped, I've attended extra courses that will help me in SBMPTN, I studied as much as I could so that my grades would increase and be stable for 5 semesters, I've been participating in public tryouts, I've bought exercise books. I don't know if it will be enough, though. Now I wake up at 5.45 am every single day for more than 6 months now, so I can attend the extra courses on Sundays.
So yeah, I'm kind of short on time right now, so that is all for now.
Here are some pictures of ITB, with its great aestethics that I like sooo much.
