Broaden Your Skill Set. 

-First, build solid foundation: master critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication 

-Then, choose universities with: -Strong study abroad programs. Shows adaptability 

-Look at Interdisciplinary majors: think across disciplines.

Tie AI to your major 

-Don't major in CS alone 

-Computational biology 

-Digital humanities 

-AI ethics/policy

Tie Skill Development To Rankings 

-Unis with mandatory internships (Northeastern, Drexel) 

-Majors that require portfolio development (architecture, game design, social media marketing, film) 

-Majors that require professional license: civil engineering, software engineering, -accounting, -nursing 

The "Gap Year + Real Experience" 

-Take a year to work at a startup 

-Teach Chinese abroad 

-Apply to uni with actual work experience 

I highly valued the Gap…demonstrates experience and maturity

Get hired on your demonstrated ability. Not just GPA.
