What if I like a field but worry I am not academically strong enough for it?
You may apply if you are genuinely interested; academic anxiety alone does not mean you should rule out the field. However, check the required entrance subjects, application requirements, and foundational subjects used after enrollment, and assess the gap between your current preparation and those expectations. Consider reviewing high-school material or using any available preparatory and academic support, and compare several options before deciding. Confirm specific requirements and support in the official information for the relevant university, faculty, and academic year.
