DO's & Dont's for university applications

At Startwise, we understand that applying to universities can be a complex and overwhelming process, especially for international students. That's why we provide comprehensive guidance on the dos and don'ts of university applications to help you make informed decisions.

Dos:

Start early:

It's important to start researching universities and their application requirements well in advance to avoid last-minute stress.

Keep track of deadlines:

Make a list of application deadlines and ensure that you have ample time to prepare and submit your application before the deadline.

Follow instructions carefully:

Carefully read and follow the instructions provided by the university for each section of the application.

Focus on your strengths:

Highlight your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and other strengths in your application to make a strong case for your admission.

Get feedback:

Ask for feedback from your peers, teachers, or education consultants to improve your application.

Don'ts:

Procrastinate:

Don't wait until the last minute to start your application. Starting early can give you ample time to prepare a strong application and reduce stress.

Submit incomplete applications:

Always ensure that you have filled in all the required sections of the application and submitted all necessary documents.

Submit the same application to all universities

Different universities have different requirements and values. It's important to tailor your application to the specific requirements and values of each university.

Overstate achievements:

Avoid exaggerating your academic achievements or extracurricular activities in your application.

Plagiarize:

Never plagiarize content in your application. Plagiarism can result in rejection or other disciplinary actions.
