Hi everyone,
I’m about to graduate in Communication Sciences and I’m seriously considering applying for a top Master’s in Marketing abroad, as I feel there aren't many great options in my home country.
Here’s the catch: my English is around a B1 level, isn't the best right now.I often struggle to find the right words and I still make a lot of mistakes. I’m pretty "rusty" because I live in a city where I never get the chance to practice it. I’m convinced that if I were immersed in an English-speaking environment every day, I’d catch up, but right now, I’m worried.
I have two main concerns:
- Networking & Academics: I’m scared that my language barrier will hinder my ability to network or keep up with the courses.
- The Application Process: I’m terrified of the interviews. Also, due to personal reasons, I’m running quite late with my applications.
I’m 23 now and I really don’t want to wait another year and "waste time." I want to start a path that actually opens doors for my career.
Do you think it’s possible to apply to a good business school/university in my current situation? Has anyone been in a similar spot and managed to survive the interview and the first few months?
Would love to hear your honest thoughts!
