The Seemingly Impossible Task of International Admissions
International admissions are coveted in many of the countries that have major shares of international students across the globe. This includes India, China, Iran, Nepal, and Bangladesh among others. Despite the high prevalence of international students from these countries, an image exists where international admissions are seen as highly difficult and near impossible. Yes, the process is arduous and takes a lot of preparation. In addition, it takes a lot of effort for students and their families to decide to move out of their comfort zone of the home environment and explore a hitherto unexplored world with many unexpected twists and turns. What happens is that many students self-select out of the process due to the complexity of it. However, let us tell you – it is surprisingly easier than you think.
If you are a potential applicant, you may be wondering why an international admissions consultant is saying that international admissions is easy. If it is easy, why are we running this very organization? You are probably right. But while international admissions is easier than what most admissions consultants make it out to be, it is a complex and unknown process. The admissions process involves making many simultaneous and crucial decisions such as selecting the university, selecting the program, writing the statement, selecting the city, thinking about career opportunities post the course, visa processes, and what to pack for your academic journey among many others. We understand that this can be overwhelming. In such a situation, many potential applicants are probably the first in their families to step abroad for an education. Furthermore, many potential applicants and their families do not have a network that helps them understand the process and they are deterred by the complications involved.
That is where we come in!
At SageGrads, our team is almost exclusively comprised of students who are the first in their families to step abroad for an education. They successfully gained admission to leading universities, all while working full-time jobs and having no social network to help them. The usual admission consultants charge exorbitant prices, which sometimes put additional roadblocks in terms of getting advice. At SageGrads we understand your concerns because we have gone through them. We realized that we can help you navigate the process: help that is needed and is not probably easily available. Our advisory and pricing are oriented toward helping you achieve your dreams and goals, rather than treating you as a cash cow. If you resonate with the team and its vision and are a potential applicant, we urge you to work with us to achieve your dream admission.
