DS wants to do either Politics or Politics & International Relations at Uni, starting Sept 2013. He's probably going to get AAB, going on current progress, so aiming for non-RG, such as Goldsmiths, Leicester, maybe Nott Trent.
Question is about what should be on his PS regarding work experience. He's done a bit of labouring, waiting on, and has done a one week Army Insight course, in which he scored v v highly.
He's also just started in the Territiorial Army (he wants to be an Army officer after graduating). He can put down stuff like teamwork, discipline, problem solving on his application, but he hasn't done any direct politics work, eg working for an MP as a volunteer. Do you think he should do the latter?
The other thing is he's going to Washington, Philly and NYC in Oct, in the week before the election - would that help?
What else would admissions people be looking for?
