Prospectus/Who it's for/Torn between two fields
Two fields pulling · medicine or engineering, law or data

Don't pick yet. Hold both open.

Medicine or engineering. Law or data. The Desk won't choose for you — it holds both futures open, shows what actually separates them, and keeps one application plan alive that serves both as long as possible.

  • Torn between two fields
  • Strong enough for either
  • Don't want to lose one too early
Why it matters

Forced to choose too early between two fields you’re good at, most people pick on a hunch — and only later find out what actually separated them.

  • The two paths often need different subjects, marks or money — decided before you had the full picture.
  • Commit to one application strategy and you can quietly foreclose the other.
  • “Follow your passion” is no help when you have two.

How it works
  1. 1

    Name both futures

    Medicine or engineering, law or data — hold them side by side.

  2. 2

    See what separates them

    Marks, money and years, laid out honestly for each path.

  3. 3

    Keep one plan for both

    A ranked next move on each, and an application plan that serves both as long as it can.

For example

Say you’re torn between engineering and medicine, strong enough in Maths and Life Sciences for either.

  1. The Desk holds both open side by side and lays out what really separates them — APS, cost, years, competitiveness.
  2. It ranks your next move on each path from your real marks.
  3. It keeps one application plan that serves both for as long as possible.

You decide when you actually have to — with the trade-offs in front of you, not on a coin toss.

Illustrative — a hypothetical, not a real user.

Questions
Will it choose for me?

No — it won’t pick. It keeps both open and shows what actually separates them so you can decide well.

What if I’m strong enough for either?

Then this is built for you — one plan keeps both alive until the last responsible moment.

Is it built?

Yes — both paths are ranked from your real marks on the live Applicant Desk.
