Overlooked Nuances Of Applying To International Universities

Applying abroad is a long and exhausting process. While we are busy handling the major paperwork and working to improve our test scores, we often overlook the nuances. Many a times they can make or break your chances of attending your dream school. We are here to demystify some of these common errors made by candidates in recent years so that you can avoid them.

Sort out your finances!

It is a commonly known fact that studying abroad will cost you a pretty penny. However, you must be careful about some details, especially if you are self-financing. For example, many universities do not accept any proof of required finances except your bank account or that of your sponsor. This means financial documents like your investment portfolio which include shares and mutual funds, 401k / pension fund, etc. will automatically get disqualified. Illiquid assets such as real estate also disqualify from proof of financing.
