Prompt of the week #9 - What are your short term and long term goals for your studies? Tell us all about what is motivating you to continue studying 📚
ooh ok so i think i've already mentioned my short term goals on some previous post now lost in this pretty sea of academia, but here we gooo
short term goals
improve my grades (simple but like yeah that's literally all i can aim for atp)
above 80% in PA-2 (my next tests, in december)
above 85% in finals (february)
get ahead in completing my syllabus of 12th grade
long term goals
college!! currently halfway through 11th grade but i'm aiming for IISER (preferably Pune). It's a college for getting into pure science research, one of the top most in my country. i definitely need to work hard to get in tho. Admission will depend on my score & rank on the IAT exam which i'll be writing after 12th board exams (along with other college entrance exams). it'll be around early june 2026 for me.
if i get in the above mentioned institute, i'll be in a course of integrated BS+MS for 5 years. i want to head into neuroscience or evolutionary biology or astrobiology.
PhD abroad (that is if i don't head outside early and complete my masters thesis abroad too, hopefully)
