SEAS: Everyone should apply for category 1

[PhoenixxFire]

Hopefully your careers advisors have told you this, but just in case they haven’t, all of you should be applying for SEAS category 1.

There’s nothing you need to do for this category - just make an application and tick the box. It considers personal characteristics such as gender, location, age, etc.

Even if you don’t think it applies to you, just do it anyway.

You don’t want to be that person who doesn’t apply because you didn’t realise your school is on an underrepresented school’s list for your uni. (That actually happened to my sister’s friend)

No. You do for the other categories, but number 1 is just basic information. Everyone can and should fill it in, because it doesn't require a personal statement like the others, yet is still considered in university applications.
