Tips to the Steps

Here are some tips that I promised. Hopefully, these information would be helpful in somehow. Again best luck with your searching and endurance.

Tip 1

Start Early: It takes time to identify appropriate schools, to collect applications, transcripts, translations and recommendations, and to write and rewrite essays.

Tip 2

If You Snooze, You Lose: School application and visa interview deadlines are important and are not flexible. Don’t waste all of your efforts by being late. Better yet, be early. If you apply early, your application is likely to receive closer attention and you will make a positive impression.

Tip 3

Prove Yourself: Don’t reduce yourself to a TOEFL score. Unless your score is exceptionally high, your TOEFL score will not make you appear exceptional. Rather, it will merely indicate that your English is good enough to study at the school. Moreover, a TOEFL score only reflects your English ability and most of the students at the school are native speakers.

Schools are interested not only in selecting applicants who are capable of doing well at the school, they are also looking for students who are motivated, self-directed and who will contribute to the learning environment at the school and to society generally. So, everything that makes you special needs to be made explicit in your application (in the essay(s), in application questions about extracurricular and community activities, and in your recommendations). Schools are also interested in any difficulties you have overcome– for example, poverty, poor educational opportunities, family problems, etc. Make your application as comprehensive and personal as possible. You are special and full of potential, but if you don’t make this clear in your application, the school will never know.

Tip 3

Be diligent, organized and efficient: Completing the school and visa application process is a long and complicated affair with many steps and many tasks that must be performed on time. You need to carry out this process with surgical precision. Make checklists and schedules and plan ahead.

Tip 4

Seek Advice and Assistance: The school and visa application processed are complicated. Whenever possible you should seek advice from those who have already completed the process. If possible, you should find a native speaker with a college education to help review your application and essay. Don’t guess and don’t rely on rumors.

Tip 5

Take charge: You stand to gain the most if your application is successful. Although your application will be stronger if you seek the advice and assistance of others, you have to do most of the work. If you fail to show initiative consistently then others will be much less likely to help you. If you don’t care enough to pursue your own education with great vigor then why should someone else be keen to help you? Yeah?
