In an effort to keep you calm and organized, this is the first in a series of guidelines for what to do before you apply. Follow these suggested steps twelve months before applying for admission.
1. Find a program
If you know you want to earn your degree abroad, but if you have yet to choose a program, do an initial web-based search for programs of interested based on the criteria that are most important to you. For example, if you have decided on a part-time program and know the city or country where you wish to study, search for educational institutions that offer a part-time program in that particular location. Alter your search based on the factors you already know such as location of the program, the degree type and of course the subject area in which you wish to study.
2. Organize your options
Once you have done a thorough search, make an alphabetical list of all your options, regardless of what you presently know or have heard about them. Be very careful about accepting word of mouth or what you think you know as final at this point in the search process. We are individuals, and as such, have different needs, expectations and experiences. This is your educational experience – not someone else’s. You need to start by gathering a list of options. Do not eliminate any of them at this point. You want to get as much information as possible so you can decide what options are most appealing for you.
3. Research
Conduct some initial research on all the institutions you have on your list. Assess not only the content of material on websites, but look at the way in which it is presented. Is information easy to find Is the tone friendly and inviting Are there easy and quick ways to request more information Speaking of which, this would be a good time to request written information from each of the institutions. This will enable you to review what you receive any time you want. It will also provide you an opportunity to find out just how responsive admissions offices are to you. This can be very telling, and may shed light on the general level of responsiveness of those institutions about which you have made inquiry.
4. Start saving
Twelve months before applying is a great time to start setting aside financial resources for your search and application process. You will be expected to pay for standardized tests and application fees throughout the application process, and you may decide to purchase some test taking preparation materials or visit some of the institutions you end up placing on your list of top options. You can also begin to look into fee waivers. Some programs offer to waive the application fee for students who meet particular qualifications.
