Well Done :)

For a new college students, one the most important holiday tasks is promoting their college. Moreover for overseas students which its number of mass is minority#curcol

so, we are, perkumpuLAn mahasiWA SemaraNG SEluruh Wilayah UI (Lawang Sewu) thinks that it's very urgent to promote UI in Semarang.

It just a little bit embrassing, a number of students in UI from Semarang-capital city of Central Java, much less than from Purworejo, Pati, Brebes, Tegal, Wonosobo. Nah loh.

Well, after some internal discussion about "why they don't interest to apply in UI?",
we get that it might be because....
1. lack of information about UI
2. perception of lifestyle in Jakarta
3. parents-out of town and pretty far
4. mental

Yah, personally, I'm sure that our quality do not lose from other region's. Then, why????
From some of 3rd grade high school students comments on our roadshow, I think it just about mental. Here it is their's comments:

"UI tu cuma mimpi"
"Saya sadar kemampuan kok"
"pengen sih pengen mbak, tapi masuknya itu...."

......it still January, they haven't prepared, they haven't applied, they haven't tried, but they had thought that they can't. hm...

Some of people think that I don't need high effort to be accepted in UI,
yah, I realize that i didn't pass SNMPTN Tulis or SIMAK UI
but...
I've ever felt when failed in Undangan, cried, then studied and stayed up every day like a crazy
....
until that phone comes.

in my opinion is just UI
the one university that I want
and no matter how it can be,
I have to be accepted there

I wanna share my best friend story, Putri Fuu
she really want HI-UI
she tried Undangan, but she hadn't lucky yet
she tried Tulis, and got TEKKIM UNDIP
...but she still want UI,
she tried SIMAK,......
now Fuu is in TEKKIM UNDIP

Out of that, i think Fuu is a great person
She is brave to try at least
She is ready to fight
and She didn't give up until the last chance

If you really want UI, chase and get it!. Out of ur comfort zone: there is UNDIP, there is UGM.
Make it your first and main option.
at least, try first. If finally you fail, it'll be more honorable.

I know, the competition to be accepted in UI is very tight.
Just remember, it's not only select you based your quality, but also how big you want UI.
Give your best effort for UI and get the best university in Indonesia :)
