Here are some tips to increase your chances of being admitted to the leading universities in UK.
1. Create a clear timeline
Deciding to go study in the UK cannot be a last minute decision. Be it your academic standing, the required courses you will need or relevant work experience, you need to give yourself enough time to gather these requirements before applying.
Have a clear picture of the deadline and work backwards to build your timeline. As an international student, it is advised not to wait until the deadline to submit your application. Ideally, keep the opening date of international applications as your deadline. Set reasonable dates to prepare your transcripts, get it certified, write your statement of purpose, collect your recommendation letters and so on.
2. Dive deep into research
At TC Global, we believe that the suitability of a university is more important than its ranking. Let us clarify.
University X is ranked very highly in a specific domain. However, it does not have the specialisation or the combination of courses that you are looking for. But, University Y does. Even if University Y is ranked slightly lower than X, if their learning outcomes exactly match yours, then Y is above X on your personal list.
The only way you can make this call is with research. Be it for courses or scholarships, give yourself the time to explore every sliver of opportunity to get the best out of your experience as an international student.
3. Build a comprehensive profile
When selecting their prospective students, universities look beyond academics. While academics are essential, it is also important to show the admissions committee that you are a well rounded individual. It is good to work on an extracurricular activity, show initiative, community engagement and leadership skills. These are instances where your application and your personal essay can stand apart.
4. Seek expert guidance
Lastly, but most importantly, talk to an expert. The entire process of finding the right course, the university, preparing your documents, filling up the application and submitting it in time can get overwhelming.
