7 Factors To Keep In Mind For Choosing Study Abroad

Start by identifying what you want to study and where. Ask yourself: what is an area of study I’m passionate about? Which schools offer this kind of program? Where are these schools located? 

01

Research study options in your chosen field online and make a list of the most attractive universities to you based on their program offerings, faculty, student life offering, location and entrance requirements. 

02

Once you have your short list of colleges, take a blank calendar and map out when applications, essays, recommendations, interviews, financial aid documents, test results and visa applications are due. 

03

If an essay is required, it’s important that you take some time and give real thought to writing it. Be authentic and show your human side. Pick a topic that inspires you and that will give the school an idea of who you are. 

04

Some competitive colleges require a personal interview. This is a chance to talk about your motivations for applying to the colleges. So be ready for it.

05

Some programs require recommendations. These will show a great deal about your intellect and character, the way you think and learn and contribute to a classroom or school community dynamic. 

06

Using your calendar to guide you, complete each application on or before the deadline. Make sure you tailor your application to each university, rather than copying and pasting each section.
