Admission Abroad

What should be considered for applying admission abroad, this is the question that no one can answer. In developing countries big bucks are paid to consultancy firms for admission. In this post I will like to layout some basic methodology to pursue so you could avoid the education consultants. And finally secure your admission abroad.

1- Set your goal

First thing is to set your goal, which course you want to study, and why it would be better for you to study that course abroad. What are your preferences regarding countries. The more you keep your options broad the more opportunities you will encounter. There could be lots of factors, so you should right them down, or keep in mind so in the next steps you could consult.

2- Attend education expo

Many education consulting firms held expos and seminars. Attend those seminars you might meet the international admission officers of few universities. Listen what they say, take notes and gather information about courses. Living expenses and practical information about the city where the university have the campus. But never signup with fees. Analise this information you collected with your motive.


3- Online search

Once you attend the expo, you will have some real facts and figures. Rather than attending seminars or expos, you can also meet the education consular at your institute. Now many schools and colleges provide this service to their students to get admission abroad. Check the websites of international universities and study their international admissions sections. You can check the information regarding:

• Study structure
• Available courses
• Admission requirements
• Deadlines
• Tuition fees
• Practical information
• Student life
• City facts

See that the course you are looking is available or not, how is the structure of university, its better to go in depth. Check out their grading system, what it will worth if you come back to your country after studies. What are the prospects when you enter the job market in that country or some other country. Talk to the international admission office of that university directly, ask them as many questions you want. They are there to help you out. Pay special attention to admission requirements and their deadlines. Deadlines vary for most of universities even they are in one country.

4- Join social media

After that your next resort should be social media from their you can communicate with other students, who are currently studying or got graduated. You can talk to them and gather information as much possible. Gather information regarding living expenses, staying in dorms or renting apartments, food costs, any taxes for students.

5- Evaluate your options

Now you are moving towards final steps, so you should evaluate all the data you collected earlier. Decide for yourself, which option is better for you. If you are still not sure go back on social media and ask some students, take their review about your decision.


6-Apply for admission

Once you decided your options (it's better to apply in more than one university) apply for the admission. Complete all the admission requirements, fill out the forms, attach necessary documents they ask and submit your application within the deadline. Its better to apply in early admission cycle, if possible.

Best of luck!!!
