Ep 006 – What will a Biden presidency mean for Indians studying in the USA?

Studying — Sat, 14 Nov 2020 14:14:00 +0000

For Indians studying in the USA, the November elections were important – after many years of a Donald Trump administration, whose immigration policies made them feel unwelcomed, with Joe Biden, and his Vice President Kamala Harris, there is hope that America can once again fulfil their hopes and dreams.

In this episode we discuss what President-elect Joe Biden might do for Indians studying in the US – will it actually be better or will it be more of the same?

Ep 003 – What to include in your study application

Studying — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 12:40:57 +0000

Whilst the application process is becoming easier and a number of universities and government bodies are providing more support for you in the way of online advice, there are still a few key things that you need to do to make sure your application to study abroad is noticed and that you are accepted on to the course of your choice.

In this episode we outline the 5 questions you need to answer in your application to study abroad to ensure it stands out from the rest and that you are offered a place.

One of the areas that top universities will judge your application on is your personal statement. Your personal statement is the section in the application where you essentially sell yourself to the university and let them know why they should offer you one of their limited places on their programmes. Whilst the number of places on courses has generally increased across the world, there are some courses where applications outnumber the places available.

To ensure your application to study on a programme is noticed and secures you one of the limited places available, consider these five questions when writing your personal statement.
