Martin Vician was born in Slovakia, specifically in Bratislava and is 20 years old. He spent most of his junior age in Slovan Bratislava, but he went to Czech Republic, to Baník Ostrava, where he spent his last year in their academy. Then he transferred back to Slovakia and spent his first senior year in FC Petržalka in the second league. What's so special about this twenty-year-old footballer? It is because he got into prestigious American University of Harvard! Read an interesting interview with a youth international player of Slovakia.
How did it all started? How did you get into University of Harvard?
,,The whole application process began in early September last year, when I first hear from Harvard the fact, that they are interested in me. I went through a number of video calls in which they asked not only about football and school, but also about my interests. They try to find out what kind of person I am, no matter how good football player and a student I am. In addition, they were waiting for SAT tests results, which also play an important role. Finally, they invited me to Harvard, where I had an official interview with important people and I also met the players and coaches of the football university team. I got to know the school campus and I also looked at freshman seminars. It was a great experience. When I returned to Slovakia, I started to prepare for the next SAT test. Finally, everything turned out great for me and I got the opportunity to spend my next 4 years at Harvard."
What did you have to do for it and what has led you to such a life step to go overseas and study there?
Harvard wasn't my goal during high school, so I can't say that Harvard was the reason I was hardly learning and trying to get the best results.
